  • I have had a nx6325 for the last 18 months. I can advise the battery life is, and has always been, truly appalling. In 'Power Saver' mode it will last a maximum 35 minutes, in 'High Performance' mode less than 20 minutes. Therefore it almost always has to be connected to mains, Posted by Gordon Hickley, Australia
  • Gordon - you might want to check your battery and the recommended replacement for it. Some models come with poor batteries that are under-powered from the start. Often there are replacements that are a higher capacity giving better performance.

    If your battery is only giving you 35 minutes, it has almost certainly reached the end of its useful life and is worth replacing, unless you plan to replace the laptop itself.

  • No I agree with him Im on mine right Now I never even bother using it unplugged it dies within 45 minutes on high performance.

    And I really need a new laptop for gaming.
    I cant even play WoW on this.

  • Honestly I just dont like this laptop in general There are currently 6 laptops in this house.
    all of which are older and cheaper models than this
    and this one is the biggest piece of crap out of all of them I only use it because.
    It has all my music on it.
    (I would transfer it but i had about 24GB of music :D

  • the laptop isnt that bad its just the batterys... Ive had mine for nearly two years and apart from a pretty major glitch at the start (mother board was fried) its been great... i gotta make this quick cause at 40% battery i only have 10 min :P

    whack another 512-2GB of ram in it and i can play battlefield 2 on this baby!

    Have fun, dont fight, eat chicken
