Re: is this riight?

 Hi:

 

You can check what model PC you have by entering the product number in the box at the link below.

 

The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.

The disk size difference between advertised size and actual storage space is explained at the link below.

 

Totally normal.

Re: is this riight?

You're very welcome.

 

I don't have your model PC, but I can say from my own experience that none of my notebook PC batteries last more than 1.5 hours between charges and all I do is browse the internet or check e-mail with them.

 

They definitely don't last as long as they advertise, that's for sure.

 

Best regards,

 

Paul
