    1:30 with max battery, lowest brightness, watching a dvd, killed the battery.

    0:45 with max battery, lowest brightness, wifi web browsing, took battery to 50%

    2:40 from full battery, brightness 6/9, WiFi on, all unneeded devices off (modem, Memory Stick, 4 USB hubs, PCMCIA), CPU more or less at 800 MHz (and 0.7 V), tweaked WinXP (no useless crap running) programming and listening to music.
