How long should a new laptop battery last?

Bought a new laptop,it has a 6 cell lion battery.I have the brightness down low with power saver and it only last over 2 hours when it says 6..this is with some light browsing and playing poker.it’s a packard bell easynote tx86 core i5 processor 2.26ghz.should I bring it back because my old laptop battery lasts the same and that was advertised 3.5 hours.Also it takes an hour to fully charge and its supposed to take 3.
Answer #1
“6 hour battery life” usualy means screen on lowest brightness, computer not being used. if you wanted to you probably could get a refund, cos 6hr vs 2hr isnt even close
Answer #2
ok, what browsing are you doing and what type of poker are you playing?
Answer #3
it depends on power settings , if i run my laptop on high performance it lasts for 1 hour 30 mins , if i run on power saver it can last more than 3 hours

Well the screen is the lowest brightness but im not gonna worry about it because ive barely use the baterry since i got it a week ago so thats why it not lasting as long id say,maybe i should do a few charges and discharges.Ive been normal web browsing and playing multuplayer online poker with about 10 at a table for real money.But i was non stop browsing last niight looking up battery info for 1 hour exacly and it went through 22% so that wasnt too bad.
