Well I don't need that kinda battery life. I'm still going to bring the plug and plug it in whenever I can so a laptop lasting upwards of 3 hours is good enough for me. The bright side of having such 10 hour battery life would be so that I don't have to bring the plug to school LOLI highly recommend the Asus UL30/UL80 'VT' series if you want good battery life. I'm getting 10 hours on mine in 'saver' mode with WIFI on and running MS office. 6 hours in entertainment mode (3-4 DVD's! :clap, and about 3 hours gaming (!!:shok:!!). The UL30 is 13.3" no DVD burner, the UL80 is 14" with a burner. Both run the same price, give or take, about $750-800 bucks. I'm removing my burner and drive caddying it for a 2nd 640gig hard disk, and SSD boot.:thumb:
Love this puppy.
I'll keep you guys posted on what happens if I decide to return it. Maybe I'll return the Antec Sonata III as well... Man someone's gonna get pissed >.>
