    I was outside using wireless (max performance) and just browsing internet + winamp and after 2 hours of use the battery went down to 60%. i got up to 3 hours and it was 42% :O
    On the website specs it says 3 hours on regular use
    I bet i could get 4-5 hours, I have regular SONY lion battery, no extra packs nothing. :) Maybe mine is defective in a good way
    Just sharing my experience...
    If you can please post how much battery life you get with your laptop

    I got over three on the review model. 4-5 seems like a stretch, but if it work who cares.

    You got the 9 cell battery I guess, instead of the 6 cell that some others have.
    On the back of the battery it'll say how many watt hours or something it has. Something either in the 50ish range or 80ish range? What's it say?

    Also, are you running core duo or the celeron? Cuz, wouldn't the core duo use less wattage (w/centrino) than the celeron?
