Hello,

as like many other people, i have also bought the Advent 8117 laptop, special offer from Currys, £399 reduced from £499,

Here are the specs if you need it:

Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T2080
1.70GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB Cache
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
1GB DDR2 533 Memory
120GB Hard Drive
DVD ReWriter
17" Widescreen Display
Intel GMA 950 graphics
Wireless Enabled
Upto 2 hours battery life
3.6kg Weight


However, the battery doesnt seem to last long, only about 1 hr 20 mins, any chance i can extend the battery life some how?

Thanks,

if you have 17' lcd, don't wait for long battery life. if you have windows vista - again, don't wait for long battery life.
