Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

It does have an i7. But the battery life on this Acer is really bad. If you're thinking on investing your money on this laptop , be prepared to carry a charger everywhere.Not an ideal battery life for a so called ultra book. Other than that sturdy laptop.

Hello Jay,I am wondering about the specs as well. When you get your computer can you check and verify if this is the graphics chip and the WiFi setup as well as the battery? - Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GMA 950 - 6-cell Lithium Ion battery and an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor - Wireless 802.11g 54Gbps Wi-FiThanks!

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

I did buy it at $299 after doing a bit of research. I did find out that the RAM CANNOT BE REPLACED. However, people running Win7 on this machine have said it runs fine for word processing, web browsing, etc. Also, my guesses are that this version does have the 6 cell battery, but does NOT have bluetooth or the upgraded (1366x768) screen. Otherwise, Amazon would have touted that.

For casual use including surfing, youtube, and writing, the battery lasts for upwards of 6-7 hours For hardcore gaming...likely an hour or less videos are somewhere inbetween... around 5-6 hours

Yes they made some changes in summer 2014 because of the issues they had with first generation. Mine came updated a couple months ago ready to go out of the box no issues. 4th generation Intel features is awesome. I wouldn't expect to do crazy gaming but better than most laptops in the same price range.

Dear Don P. If you are asking about the model NP940X3G-K04US, then this is the 4th Generation I7 Processor for sure. It is clocked at 1.8 MHz However if you are interested in the 4th generation Intel processor make sure that you order this particular model as they are still selling some older 3rd generation based laptops although at much reduced price. Hope this helps.

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30gHz. 6.00GB installed memory. I bought it refurb for use in my summer cottage, where I don't need much in the way of capability. But, to be frank, it easily exceeds every use I have put it to. I usually have two browsers open, each with three panels open and it has not been strained, except that a time or two I have gotten video memory warnings, which I have been able to simply ignore with no detectable consequence. In sum, I'm happy.

It's a dual core Atom. They have a newer version with an i3, but it way overpriced.
