8 Hours battery life from one charge
I'm happy if I get 1.5 hours out of my Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 :-) (Pentium 4 Cel M 2.4 ghz)
My Portege R100 does get good batterylife though, one battery about 2.5 hours, with both batteries around 6.5 to 7 hours, but turn on the wifi and it drops down to 4 hours.... I love that little R100 :-) L8tr... Tom |

Don't most laptop manufacturers quote battery usage at idle making you think that it lasts longer?

Most quote batterylife with all the powermanagement on, so everyone thinks it works longer, so yes.... true. Famous example, Tecra S2, batterylife 2 to 2.5 hours, WITH powermanagement on (and wifi off), without.... 1.5 hours tops.
