Batt time on new laptop
Ok, tried to post this thread right after registering, but it didnt post after a few hours of waiting: anyways:
I have a brand new Compaq AMD turion 64 2ghz laptop, nvidia 6150 GPU, 1 gig ram, 80 gig HDD. I only get 60 - 100 minutes of battery life. The system says the battery is in good condition. For my computer, is this an OK battery life? My biggest concern is that when Best buy went to set it up for me (using the wrong name for the admin account at that) they just plugged it in and went with it, it didnt get a 100% change until the next day. When on battery power I use power savings mode that is set to 50% cpu and 40% display brightness. Also I have a wireless B/G built in, and use that exclusivly for internet on a wireless router that is never more than 10 feet away (so I cant imagine that to be a problem). Anyways, is my system holding its own on power usage, or is the battery possibly bad?
