    With 9 cell I got 3 hours and 20 minutes with nonstop use (internet usage, downloading, and installing, occasional youtubing) but I turned off the bluetooth, and keyboard backlight, and turned brightness down to very low.

    With my 6 cell, the results are horrible. (1 hour 20 minutes)
    =(

    Is my 6 cell just bunk or is 1 hour 20 minutes about right for nonstop usage?
