    It says on the sony style website the battery life is 2-3.5 hours. is that serious? How do you guys deal with that, does it become a problem? Or did you get used to it? or is sony the first manufacturer to actually understate their laptops battery life?

    whatever the battery life sony posts, subtract that by 1.5-2 hrs to get "real world" battery life.

    Not true, 2-3hrs for the E-series is about right.

    My bad, this is about E-series. I was talking about Z series. Sorry.

    from my experience, sony posts realistic battery times, surprisingly

    if anything, they may have understated a little for my laptop
