    Hey,

    For anyone that has the Vostro 1400 with the 9-cell battery, how long does it approximately last? I know that it varies a lot on use/brightness/components, but coudl you please post your specs and the estimated battery life?

    Thanks.

    uh now you're asking battery life, right?

    I have an E1505 - nvidia 7300, 9 cell, t7200, 5400rpm

    full brightness, word/internet: 3-4 hours
    haven't tested gaming or cpu-intensive things, but i guess it'd go down to ~2-3
    least brightness, minimal word processing: 5-5:30 hours
