    i juz bought the SZ laptop...the processor is 1.83ghz, 2gb ram, geforce7400, 100g hdd. using fully charged batt, the batt life shown is never exceeded 3hrs no matter how i set the batt saver plan. In fact it's usually used up within 2hrs...any SZ owner can comment about this? im worry tat my batt is spoiled.

    I don't have any personal experience, but I may be able to suggest a few things to do. Check and make sure that the notebook enters a power saving mode, when running on battery. You should be able to do this using "Power Schemes" in Control Panel. The amount of load on the notebook will also affect its bettery runtime, so if you are putting a fair bit of load on it, then the runtime will be expectedly low.
