well on a full charge the battery lasted for a little more than 4.5hrs but that was with using MS word and excel. Winamp was open for a while. The spkr quality is poor and nothing much to write about.

Regarding the M/b, the laptop came with an acer recovery cd which contains drivers for the sys. It has option of installing drivers for display (915 M/b.) On the same page a link is provided which installs nVidia display drivers. I would like to know whether 915 will work properly with nVidia drivers installed? (A warning is given dat installing 915 drivers is a must b4 nvidia drivers are installed).
