Have been using it for about half a month now and have had no issues with the battery, it seems to last pretty well. I can do digital art, play games smoothly and run any program I have tried out.

Review: Great Laptop for an amazing price - This was a Christmas present for my mother and she loves it. The audio could be better which is why I gave it 4 stars, however we hooked up external speakers and those work great! Not a touch screen so if you're looking for that look elsewhere. Otherwise this is great bang for our buck and couldn't be happier!
