    From what I've read, the 14.1" with nVidia and 7 Cell will last around 3.5 - 4 hours with normal usage and 2.5 with intesnive usage.

    But anyone know some data for the 15.4" with 9 cell?

    Thanks

    that may be an unfair comparison since the 15.4 inch isn't available yet w/ a nVIDIA card.

    I dont know about the GPU side of things but a Lenovo rep mentioned that a 9 cell has a third more power in hours than the 7 cell.

    Not true. Going from a 6 cell to a 9 cell would obviously be a 33% increase. Going from a 7 cell to a 9 cell would be a 22% increase.
