    Well i'm thinking around 3-4 hours with a 9 cell, with nothing that intensive for the computer. Around 2 hrs for computer intensive work.

    It all depends on what you do, if you game, like an hour or less, but just goofing around on the internet, like 3-4 hours

    Not to be harsh or anything, but the Gaming forum is not the place to ask this question (Dell specific) and you could probably get an answer to this by doing a quick Internet search or searching the Dell forum. So please do that, thanks.
