HP dv2315nr opinions



I was checking out this laptop at Best Buys recently and I was
considering buying itand was wondering if it was a good deal. The
main purpose would be for traveling and not as a desktop replacement.
Does anybody know what the battery life is on this model? Does anybody
have any experiences with this laptop? Good or Bad?
