I am wondering what kinda battery life we all are getting with specific laptops...
post your MAKE/MODEL, FULL LOAD BATTERY LIFE, IDLE BATTERY LIFE, and your battery capacity...
ANY MODIFICATIONS
like running your screen at 0 brightness or lowering the voltage on your cpu or overclocking/underclocking
ok I go first...
Dell Inspiron 8600
15.4" widescreen Intel centrino technology 1.6ghz 512PC 2700 geforce go5200
FULL LOAD: about 3:15 <--- graphics intensive applications (HL2) can bring it down to 2:30
IDLE: 5:15 max (600mhz)
ok I use a program called RM clock cpu utility to dramatically cut my processor's voltage down to 1.3v full and .8v idle...
IDLE time is actually with moderate web browsing using the integrated WIFI and half screen brightness.
