    hi, I'm looking for a vaio fw notebook

    I'll use it for photo-video editing and movie playback when plugged, but I also need a good battery life when I travel (at least 3 hours in internet session with an hsdpa pcmcia modem)

    can you tell me real power and battery life differences from p8400 and t9400 processori?

    According to Sony.de the P8400 gets 15 minutes more battery life than T9400.

    According to the NBR review the battery life on 'balanced' and 60% brightness is 2:40 for the P8400. So you'll get 3 hours with P8400 on energy saving and some other tweaks.

    Hey PhilFlow, how big of a difference do you think the 3650 vs the 3450 in terms of battery life?
