    Hey all!

    I got a few questions, what is the battery life on the SZ6 and the TZ series? DVD playback and web browsing? I found some values for the TZ (around 4 hours of DVD). But none for SZ, would love to get some help with this.

    On my tz it says i can get 7.30 hr whilst typing on words if i set to max battery mode, screen brightness to lowest which is still usable, and wireless/bluetooth/cd drive switched off. Of course this might not be accurate.

    With normal use (wifi on, full brightness, fastest performance, streaming videos, sound) I get 4 hours maybe a little bit more from a full charge with the standard battery.

    So Im guessing youll get around 2 hours with the sz, maybe a bit more
