    Hello --

    If you are like me, you may be deciding between the T61 15" and the D830. The specs on both my configs are very similar:

    I am considering both with their respective dedicated cards (128x140m on T61, 256x140m on D830), with only the batteries that won't stick out (6+3 on T61, 9+6 on D830) -- but I don't want to limit this forum to that.

    If you can help, please post here your D830 Processor, Battery Config, and Graphics, and what you were doing during the battery life test.

    This will be a huge help to those of us trying to decide if we can get by with the supposedly shorter life of the T61, or if we need to prioritize the D830 for its better battery life.

    Thank you very, very much!!
