    I read a different number everywhere and wanted to see if I could get a straight number from some of you that have a Sony FJ series. About how many hours would I get using it with the wifi on and doing tasks such as word processing or browsing?

    Thats what I have been hearing. I just don't understand how it can be so poor, even when you turn the brightness of the screen down.

    Does anyone have a real figure? I am also curious as if I would get same, better, or worse battery life from an FE doing the same tasks?

    I love the styling and feel of the Vaios, I am almost willing to sacrifice. Is the power brick seriously that big?
