With the larger screen, hard drives, and other extras, I'm curious what your experience with the battery life has been. "

Battery life is not very good. Depending on what you run on the laptop, it could range from about 2 hours to 2 and a half hours. I usually don't run much power intensive programs so I usually experience about 2.5 hours battery life, which isn't very good for a laptop but to everything there are pros and cons.
