On the other hand, the NV5807u ran for 2 hours and 28 minutes on our video-playback battery drain test using the included six-cell battery. That's a disappointing number for a laptop this size, but it's our only real gripe with the NV5807. Then again, our video drain test is grueling--usage under normal Web-browsing and e-mail/office work conditions should produce better results.
