envy 4520
Microsoft Windows XP (64-bit)

Just got a new Envy 4520 laptop. The battery isl asting about 5 hrs on ordinary use, not streaming or heavy file downloading. I would have expected more like 8 hrs!

5 hours in a 17 inch laptop is actually excellent. Since I am not an HP employee I am free to provide my opinion and I have been doing this at this Forum for about 16 years so my opinion is worth something. 8 hour battery life on a big desktop replacement laptop is just not "a thing" as they say.

I have IDENTICAL Envy 17" brand new laptops. BOTH are set exactly the same settings. one gets 5++ hours on charge the other maybe 2 if I'm lucky.
