hi,
The best improvement is from CPU undervolting, using CPUGenie or RMCLOCK. RMClock is for free ( www.rightmark.org) but has not been maintained for a while and is not suitable for newer CPU models or Win7. So, I would like to recommend CPUgenie.
In addition, in power settings, battery section, enable USB selective suspend on, power save max on wireless.
In VAIO Control center, disable all nice-to-have-peeripherals and put CDROM to auto.
In Display, select 80% brighness or as low as you can tolerate and select max power savings for Intel and/or enable Powermizer for nVidia (depends on your laptop type)
Best monitor I found is battery bar pro, shows power in Watts.
good luck!
