    I've heard lots of people comment on the battery life performance of the SR with the integrated graphics card, but what about the battery life on one with a dedicated card?

    i think you have it backwards. People are complaining of life on the ATI Card (dedicated) of <3.5 hours or so.

    The integrated rated 5+ hours on the same site that accurately rated the ATI card with 3.5 hours.

    I'm sorry, I made it sound like people were complaining. Actually, people have been raving about it, sorry for the misphrase.
