More than 10 hours? I like this. What is that antenna for? FM radio?

Antenna is called UltraConnect II and it's used to help in optimizing frequency coverage and performance for improved wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity around the world.

I just wonder why computer makers do not put a FM function in. It should be pretty cheap to do. I for one would like to pay $20 more for this feature.

I am not trusting marketing announcements on battery life!
Anyone confirmed the 10h + battery life under real work conditions?
