    I've got almost the exact same one also. Lasts about 3 1/2 on Fully charged Balance battery mode. High performance will last you about 1 1/2 hours or 2. Power saver I'll say a good 4 4 1/2 hours

    Yes. That is turned on. Although, I was running MSN, my steam, and a virus scan while testing out so that might of taken off some life.
