This is atrocious, especially considering that for the price, we're expecting something far more substantial. At most, while running our HD movie test, it lasted just under 5 hours, and lasted a little while longer in our productivity test. However, the worst aspect of this laptop by far is the battery life, and it absolutely drags this laptop down. Of course, it won’t be able to play titles like Hitman 3 smoothly but you’re not buying this laptop for that purpose anyway as a general performance machine, this might have easily qualified as one of the best HP laptops going – or even one of the best Ultrabooks overall. It even ran Sid Meyer’s Civilization VI benchmark well, netting over 60 FPS on the highest settings. It’s an incredibly fast laptop that balances multiple CPU-intensive tasks like a champ.
