    Offtopic, but I can't believe Youtube (Google) is actually charging for video downloads now. It says "$0.99 USD Download" in the description box.
    PFred hi again..Isn't there a program converter .. that you can download and get those FREE.. now ?
    Yeah, I just thought it was really weird and necessary of them to do that though.

    Agreed. I now drain my battery once a week. Best I can do really as I don't have a spare and/or a battery replacement cover -- really wish manufacturers would supply this in the box!

    One other thing that you can do on some modern laptops if you are using them in a fixed location is to remove the battery completely and run from the mains alone.

    This will not work with all systems but is an option for those that allow it
    That's what I'd ideally like to do, but I have no battery replacement cover.

    My battery says it has 4:45 left. If I set it to balanced(right now running on high power) it goes to almost 7 hours.

    I really love my laptop.
    Joe what cell is your battery ?..that makes a big difference also...
    mine is a ..6-cell Lithium-ion battery .. about 2.50 hrs. on Wi-Fi...:)
    2.5 hours on WiFi is perfectly acceptable. That is about what we get. Very good.
