    What is the battery life on the Sony CR series laptops with the extended battery? Don't just give me the advertised numbers.

    Actual usage? Anyone have one?

    yep had mine for a bit now.

    totally depends on how you run your system settings and whats running.

    I look at about 6 hours of pure document typing and light webpage browsing

    I get 3 hours max when gaming, counter strike for example.

    At the max power savings settings and wifi off i can squeeze 9 hours out of it just typing documents. =)
