    I'm looking to buy a laptop in a couple of weeks and I'm eyeing the Series 7 15" closely. It has the specs I want plus a sleek design. Thing is I'm curious whether its battery really lasts longer than an ordinary laptop battery. So my question for Series 7 owners out there: How much has been your battery wear since you purchased your laptop?

    Do you mean How long can you use it in one spell or Has it deteriorated since you bought it?
    (Only got mine 6 weeks ago so I couldn't tell in the latter case...)

    Had mine for almost half a year now, and I got 0.4% Battery Wear reported by BatteryBar v3.5.4.

    On a sidenote, I only charge my battery to 80%, which gives me 5 hrs or so of usage, unless I know I need the extra battery power. This supposedly helps alot with Battery Wear.
