Design - Optimal Use

This light 4lb, thin 14.4" LED-backlit laptop is perfect for transporting to work, school, or your local coffee shop. If you need a bigger screen or do not plan to move your laptop around much, a larger notebook might be a better buy.

Battery Life

The advertised average is 6 hours, but as with most PCs, you may get less. It is Energy Star and EPEAT Gold compliant.
