    it all depends on the configuration and how you use it, gaming with a 7400 set to max performance on battery will probably net you one to two hours, watching video with the optical drive spinning probably around 3 to 3 and a half, routine tasks, web surfing,office work with wifi on around 4 to 4 and half, at max brightness you can take a good chunk off those tiimes, minal brightness will get you a little more, but not as much, those are just ball park figures and everyones milage will vary, rule of thumb, the lighter the load the longer it lasts, low drive usage, video down clocked to max power savings, and medium brightness on the screen will keep you going for awhile
