You may be able to set the system up to improve that a bit (make sure the screen is as dim as you can tolerate, the CPU is set to slow speed, etc.)., but 3-4 hours is about what you can expect from a budget system like this with a relatively small, 3-cell battery.
There is an option for a 4-cell battery (which will fit only if you do not have a 2.5" drive), but that does not appear on any of the current configurations. That battery should extend runtime by about 25%.

Avoid situations where your phone can overheat, especially when your battery is fully charged. Your battery drains much faster when it's hot, even when not in use. This kind of drain can damage your battery. You don't need to teach your phone the battery's capacity by going from full charge to zero, or zero to full.
