Our configuration of the 5310m ran for 3 hours and 24 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included four-cell battery. Since this test constantly has the hard drive spinning, it is particularly draining on battery life given this system's 7,200rpm drive speed. Under normal use you can expect to average around 4.5 to 5 hours. Unfortunately, if you want to get the best battery life, again, you'll need to swap out the hard-disk drive for a solid-state drive. Do that and you'll probably get closer to 6.5 hours of runtime.
HP includes an industry-standard one-year parts and labor warranty with the system. Support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line and an online knowledge base and driver downloads. However, this is standard for consumer notebooks. Industry standard for business laptops is three years.
