    Acer Aspire 3000, about 45 minutes surfing the net, full brightness.

    But not for long! -- I just ordered the 8 cell battery on Ebay...That should put me around 3 hours or so (I hope!)...

    i have a 5672 that is a year old, and i am now down to about 30 minutes.

    the wear level on NHC says 62%. i probably only have a few months left before there is no battery capacity.
