    Buying this is pretty tempting, however I wanna make sure that it can last two hours in a class. Do any owners know? :confused: I looked at the review, but the reviewer made no mention on battery life.

    Thanks

    It should last 2-3 hours with the standard 6-cell. You could probably push 4 with optimization/undervolting.

    My C563NR has been on a wireless connection for about an hour and still has 53% of battery left. I was also downloading music and installing programs, so that decreased it alot more.

    You will have no problem with it lasting 2 hours.
