This laptop seems to be the perfect fit for me to dual boot with Linux Mint.  The specs do not list the battery life per charge.  I would mostly be doing web searches, emails, and few YouTube song videos.

 

How long does the battery last with your usage?  Here is the web link of the product and where I intend to purchase it:  https://www.costco.com/HP-14%22-Laptop---Intel-Core-i3---1080p.product.100461207.html#pdp-accordion-...

Battery:
3-cell, 41 Whr, li-ion
Supports battery fast charge, 90 mins/90% charge

 

Any official specs would be entirely unreliable as HP will claim 10+ hours battery runtime. And specs would not tell you how long it will last in Linux. In recent kernels I have actually been getting pretty close to the same runtime on Linux or Windows. 

Assume you will get 4-5 hours of battery runtime and that's an educated unoifficial guess but likely pretty close.

Thank you for your rapid reply and most helpful answer.  This is my first post to the Community and I am very appreciative.  I have owned HP computers for almost 30 years.
