I bought one today from Best Buy. I figure, ~$400, "up to" 6 hours of battery life, and an Intel Core i3, looks like a steal. I plugged it in, was impressed with the responsiveness. I noticed in the bottom right corner, it kept saying 0%, available, plugged in charging or something. It would stay that would even after an hour or so. I tested it by unplugging the power cord and it immediately shut off.
I tried a couple things to try to fix it. I turned off the laptop and removed the battery, having the laptop connected just by the power cord. I turned on the laptop, noticed the text at the bottom said plugged in, without mentioning any charging. I snapped the battery back in while the computer was on and the tooltip changed. It still had 0% and stayed that way for what seemed like forever. I just let the laptop go to sleep, battery in, charging, from 8pm-10pm. I opened it now, and it says 99%, 7 hours left. Hopefully it doesn't act up on me anymore.
Also, the sound is better than my junky 2007 Polaroid TV, but not as good as my desktop Altec Lansing speakers.
