With my Dell Latitude CPxH500GT (or somthing to that respect... I never
cared that much about numbers...) I got about 3 and a half hours with
one fresh battery in the beginning. That is a year ago now, and I get
about half that now. That is of course including X and cdrom/floppy
access. I love my Dell :P (it is just a bit noisy)
