    Hi there, just wondering if owners could post the battery life they are achieving while performing hmwork/ music/ internet. On paper the m40 looks like the ideal system, but I have heard varying reports about thier battery life. Any stats, or even forwards to posts asking the same question would be great!

    Thanks guys!

    It states 3 hours at battery savings mode, so I;ve heard.

    So lets say with WiFi, regular surfing and typing up an article, should be a bit under 2 hours?

    The m40 is great but the battery life really sufferes, and it's disappointing for a PM

    Thats really unfortunate! Everything else seems perfect, but I need to have at least 3.5+ hours of battery life. Any other Toshiba's with bettery battery life? How about the Tecra A4/A5? They seem good except I am worried it says on their stats wireless a/g .... I thought 'a' was useless and 'b' was necessary...?
