    ok guys I caved and bought another dell studio xps 13 after the first one i got was defective. Anyways I love everything about this laptop after I did a clean install. However, my battery life has gone down to 2 hours instead of the original 3 and a half hours when I first received it. I got my laptop on march 28 so it's only been two weeks. Is there something wrong with the battery i got? On average, I only use this laptop 2-3 hours a day and it's on sleep or usually shut down when i'm not using it. Thoughts?
