So I've had others tell me, but in comparing it to a friend's machine
it's not that great (he's getting 4-5 hrs).  Mind you, his is a less
power hungry centrino running XP with full access to the ACPI stuff.

I like the extra cpu cycles and I'm willing to wait for better linux
acpi support.  At least I know my laptop won't become a spam daemon
anytime soon (or worse) :)
