    Is this normal? The laptop takes a extremely long time to recharge and is quite inconvenient for travel >_>

    If you use it while it's recharging it's normal for it to take a long time. Try charging with the laptop powered off, it'll work much faster.

    6 hours? that's not right. It doesn't matter if your using the laptop or not, it charges the battery and powers the laptop at the same time. You aren't using battery power while being plugged into an AC. I think you have a bad battery or something.

    No you're not, but you're generating A WHOLE LOT OF HEAT. The battery stops charging if it gets too hot.
