Battery life on standard 4 cell? x61s

#1 Post by moijk » Thu Jan 08, 2009 8:22 am

what battery time do you get on the 4 cell with regular use on the x61s? I'm running linux, and I'm wondering what goal to set on optimizing the system concerning potential runtime on the battery. (linux power management isn't exactly up to par with Windows after my experience)

I get about 2 hours +/- 5 minutes using Vista x64 on normal usage.
Feb 2008=Thinkpad X61s; 2x faster than X40 but not as asthetic.
Dec 2005=Thinkpad X40; perfect, but bigger than 240x.
Jan 2005=Thinkpad 240x; used; fast but dead pixels doomed it.
2003=Thinkpad 240; used,
1998=new Toshiba Tecra 740CDT. Pricey, heavy & last 5 year.

Thanks. Then I'm not that far off at the moment. Should be easy to get that time. But I think I need the extended battery..
