    So, how is the Studio 15 battery life?

    Any idea what this config would get: T8100, LED screen, ATI 3450, 320GB HD? On a 6 cell battery?

    Mine lasted a lttle under 4 hours with near identical spec, brightness at 50%, on balanced power scheme. BT, keyboard and wireless on.

    I have those specs, running heavy apps with a good brightness level I got 2.5 hours. While browsing the web, msn'ing, itunes and a good brightness level again it's around 3.5h. Great battery life with these specs at least. Very happy with my purchase.
