I recently purchased a brand new ASUS K53E laptop from Best Buy on thursday sept 13. i have been very disappointed with how poor the battery life is basically since the first time i charged it fully.
after i charge the battery to 100% i will unplug it and turn the backlight all the way down on the display and will only get about 2 hours of unplugged battery life, if that. generally the only programs i keep running are firefox and itunes and thats it.
from what i have searched in google i should be getting at least 4 hours of battery life from this laptop and have experienced anything but that so far.
can someone please help or give me any sort of advice at all? considering going back to best buy and returning it if i cant somehow increase battery life without having to by a new/extra battery.
