Up to 32 hours requires separately purchased HP BB09 Ultra Extended Life
Notebook Battery and customer download of the latest Intel graphics driver and
HP BIOS. Notebook must be configured with Intel graphics, optional Intel 160 GB
SSD drive, HP LED HD Display and requires Windows 7 operating system. Battery
life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, loaded
