Hello everybody!
I have bought the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG i3-2377M laptop and I have a huge doubt, because in every site I check and also in the official acer web I have bought my laptop says that the battery last up to 8 hours, but when I use the laptop with the full battery charged from 0% and with the laptop completely off. I start the laptop and the battery last only from 2.30hrs. To 3 hours. I would like to know that is a problem of the battery or is normal that the battery longs that time.

    It looks as though your typical usage doesn't use nVidea and is similar to mine.

    Your model is also quoted as ~8 hours so, if I were you, I would contact Acer - (I wouldn't be happy getting ~3 hours).

    I have the M5-581TG i7 SSD.
    I can get more then 8 hours when running light tasks such as browsing, developing etc.
    However, this can drop significantly if running games which utilize nVidea graphics for example.
    I can't give a precise duration as I don't play games that often, and when I do I don't play for hours at a time.
    So, it depends on what you are running and the hardware utilized but I have never even approached such short durations as 2.5 to 3 hours.

    this time duration is when i use my computer for do basic things such as browsing, use word, see videos in youtube,do you think should i send it to the technisian?, because it is quiet new no more than two weeks, and i dont want fuhrter problems with the battery.

    Thanks for your consideration.
