HP Chromebook 14 battery life is rated at 9.5 hours. This is of course just a claim but I was still hoping to get somewhere close to 7-8 hours on regular usage. But my 20 day old machine gives me hardly 3-4 hours of backup time.
Now I am a heavy user as I have several tabs open. Some of which are consistently fetching latest data from the web like TweetDeck. Sometimes I also have Google Play Music running in the background.
My question is... Is 3-4 hours expected for my kind of usage? I even ran a simple test. Charged the Chromebook full and then left it on mid-level brightness with just Google Play Music playing a song. At these load levels, it managed to run for around 6 hours.
