I would also like to know ... especially when watching movies.

T42 2378-FVU, with 14.1" SXGA+

I haven't done a full test, but I was on track to listen to a little over 4 hours of music (screen shut off, just playing MP3's). But I did have my monitor on for quite a bit.

In terms of movies, running off of the hard drive and not the DVD drive, I managed to watch about an hour and was on track for a little less than 4 hours (if I remember correctly).

I assume that is with a 6-cell?

Sorry, forgot to mention it. Yes, it is with the 6 cell. My 9 cell will be coming in tomorrow.

i'm also wondering how long the battery lasts with the wireless on, or playing an entire movie or whatever...
