    im wondering what the max battery possible is for the t400 and x200, for all day operation. and how to achieve it.

    I would of course use integrated graphics, the lowest power consuming hdd i can find, and an led backlight

    Tough question to answer.

    . I would be happy if the battery lasts 80-90% of advertised max use time

    . Working environment and temp do affect battery performance

    . Battery can lose charge holding at any time

    . One app at a time, and less background processes can push the battery performance a bit longer.

    . All day - meaning 8hrs working?

    cheers ...
