    XoticPC claims a 2-3 hour battery life for this laptop? Does that seem right?

    the most i've been able to muster out of my 2090 was about 3 hours 20 minute with brightness low, wifi on, and regular computing.

    with the 9 cell battery and the new Penryn processor, it's not out of the question to see 3+ hours, depending on what your doing though.
