    I am deciding on which notebook to buy and I am really concerned about real world battery life. I was wondering if anyone with the new Sony SA/SB with the sheet battery could comment on the battery life. The sonystyle website states that the notebook/battery combo could achieve 13 hours at full brightness. I am not entirely sure about this as it could mean the wireless is off and whatnot. The Lenovo T420 with the 9 cell (I am debating between the two) was quoted at 15 hours from the company yet owners state around 9-10 hours. I would really appreciate if any Sony S owners could comment on their battery life at full brightness and with WiFi on while doing regular web surfing.
