    Can anybody give me an accurate battery life time? I've searched everywhere really and no one has really touched upon that topic.

    I'm specifically looking for the battery life while web browsing and occasionally watching some youtube videos.

    Thanks.

    I got my Y500 one week ago, for normal stuffs it last 3.5 hours.

    If you put the Powersaver Plan you will get 4 hours.

    Yes, for me it is right around 4 hours, maybe a little less. I was able to get almost 2 moves out of it on a flight. It was The Campaign and Bourne Legacy. I missed the last 5 minutes of Bourne Legacy.
