    Hey people, I'm in the market for a new laptop and I found a pretty good deal on an HP DV5 1010. The only thing I'm concerned about is the website I'm going to order from claims it has a 2 hour battery life which seems on the low side. Has anyone got any experience with the battery life of this model? My current Macbook (Late 2006 model, C2D T7200) usually gets 2.5 to 3.5 hours out of one charge, I'd like to stay around about that sort of area.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Yeah with that model you'll get just over 2 hours.. you can always purchase a higher capacity battery though, which will get you significantly longer battery life. :)
