    sounds about right, times quoted are usually with lcd back light nearly off, wireless off, and the comp sitting doing nothing, and after all that you should still take it with a pinch of salt [ :)] so im making sure i go for a 5hr model then can hopefully squeeze 4hrs use out of it

    I have 1 hour 30 min when a lcd is dark (not off), turned off network, hard drives. hibernate and suspend is off.
    I do nothin and stay away of the laptop :)
    I have read than it shoud be power up circa 2-2,5 hour. 1,5 is too little i think. i need to check thiis with other acer tm2000 users. I have 6 months battery warranty and i can give it to service.
