    Does your battery use cold fusion technology or just the regular kind of nuclear fission?

    It's just to show how long your laptop can remain in sleep mode, not how long it'll last with use.

    Actual use....over six hours on power saver and roughly three-ish on high-performance utilizing a nine cell battery. Let's just say I got my system yesterday and it's rarely been off...pictures will be posted soon.

    Montevina is supposed to give a lot more juice too. Not sure exactly how much, but enough to watch a 2.5 hour HD video and still have battery life to do other stuff.
