Your notebook is under heavier usage than mine  sweat.gif
How come it can last for 2 hours ?

Maybe there is something wrong with my battery, is there any s/w to benchmark notebook battery ? biggrin.gif

maybe u can go back the shop and ask for battery replacement . I believe that ur battery r having some problems now . It shouldnt be so short the usage. smile.gif

~maybe u hav lots of startup programs . It may consume ur battery too..
