    Hi

    I have the regular battery and seem to get around 2:20 hours battery life while my SZ is on speed mode if I'm just browsing or watching videos off the hard disk. This is with the CPU set to maximum power saving and the screen on 7/9 brightness. Mobilemeter reports my power consumption as being about 22 watts. Does this seem normal?
