with wireless internet it should give u about 3hrs run time and it also depends on you processor if its a mobile processor p4 p3 and sofourth so it can realy vary but normal battery life should b about 3-4hr with a 3 cell bettery and about 5-6 with a 8cell battery

That is what I am using right now.  I bought it about a month ago, maybe a little less.  So far I love it is very fast, the widescreen is wonderful and easy to read.  What are you going to be using it for.  If you want to use it for gaming, the video card isnt bad but it only has 64mb of shared memory so you may want to find something with a slightly better video card.  For everything else this computer is awsome.  I am very happy with it, the battery holds a charge for 4 hours and 30 minutes and I think it can actually last longer if I lower the brightness on the screen.  If you buy it from bestbuy or circuit city dont bother with the customization to your laptop they make it sound like it is essential to make your computer run well but it is a waste of money.  Also I would avoid their service plans they are also a ripoff, the manufacterer warrenty for one year is included and that should be sufficient, since the best buy service plan actually doesnt cover much of anything.  Anyways happy computer shopping

Pretty vague...\n\nWith 100% charge if I play something like Battlefield 2 with my speakers and a wireless mouse I get under 30 minutes before first warnings.  That's 100% screen brightness too.\n\nIt never goes above 1.5 hours unless I do nothing but type in word with the brightness low and no sound or cd's running.

I don't hink you can go wrong with either a Dell Latitude or IBM Thinkpad.  They are both quality machines and usually competitively priced.  Nowadays, long battery life is about 5 hours, but if you buy a model with 3 hours of battery life, you can always buy an extra battery, dim your screen, turn off the radios (Wifi and bluetooth) and you'll be up and running for a long time.

you said your laptop is 3 years old. if the battery is of the same age you're a lucky person. a battery seldom last that long when used daily (that's my personal experience).\nas already mentioned before, the battery is gone and you have to replace it.

LOL that battery does suck doesn't it??? I own one also but as long as you are happy with the laptop then go http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=294716&seg=HHO&coid=-26627&rcid=-26363&ccid=1291043\nThis is a direct replacement from Toshiba that has almost twice the capacity.

This question is not very helpful. A laptop wouldn't have 5GB of memory. A laptop wouldn't even operate at 5 Gigahertz. So I don't have any idea what type of laptop you have. Most of the new ones have either 256MB or 512MB of RAM and somewhere between 30GB and 100GB of hard drive space. Of course, you can buy a better one.

The MacBooks are out now, you can get them from the Apple Store (or online at http://www.apple.com/).  There are problems, a lot of problems.  Number one is they overheat or run hot.  A review over at Ars Technica had the CPU running at ~83C which is far far too hot and it became unstable and restarted.  The other problems include random fan whines, random restarts and fans not working properly.  I don't know how the wireless works, range is presumed impressive.  It's good for traveling and business applications but don't expect to do any hard core gaming on just the MacBook as it has the Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics, if you want a dedicated solution go with the MacBook Pro.  I wouldn't tell you the processor is better or worse but it's an Intel Core Duo at 1.83GHz, it has two cores but I wouldn't call it a major improvement.  A regular computer tech would be able to service most problems with it like the hard drive and memory but if you were having issues with the OS itself you'd have to go the Apple store.  The case is made of plastic and is scratchable but not nearly as bad as the iPods, it's a catch 22, the cases on the MacBook Pros can dent like no tomorrow so you have to be slightly more careful with them.  But then you have to be careful with any laptop.\n\nNow, you didn't ask about battery life.  Battery life on the MacBook is between 3 hours and 5 hours depending on usage and considering most other laptops top out at 3 hours, I'd say that's impressive.  I think you should read the whole review from Ars Technica, http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/macbook.ars/1\n\nWhy would you wait until June from Amazon when you can buy it from Apple today, though, I'd wait until they fix some of the issues.  Note that the overheating is due to improper application of thermal grease, if you take off what has been applied and re-do it yourself the temperature will drop anywhere between 20C~25C.\n\nPerformance wise it was very impressive but not on the graphics test as you will see in the Ars Technica review.  It was a far cry faster than G4 iBooks, and almost as fast as MacBook Pros on applications, except games.  The only improvement that I (and Ars) recommends is to get 1GB of memory, 512MB simply isn't enough.  If you get the base MacBook with 1GB of memory and an 80GB SATA hard drive it will run you $1249 which isn't too bad.  Now if only they could apply the thermal grease correctly.

"A better battery? A better mousetrap." \n\n"Every laptop and cell phone owner I know wants more battery time.  If it works as advertised, we'll soon see laptops with 10 hour batteries."\n\n"Saphion technology is superior because Saphion technology possesses safety and excellent cost/performance characteristics that cathode materials currently used in Lithium-ion batteries do not."

yes that 7200rmp will drain a lot of battery faster that the 5400 and usually the normal of cache for that mac is 16MB or 8MB... that's preety good

Personally I recommend Toshiba laptops. They have multiple makes (Satellite and Qosimo among others) and variations of each to fit your budget. [See the link below]\n\nSome extra information: on any laptop, what to watch out for is if the AC power port is on the rear of the laptop, be careful not to tilt the base backwards when opening the screen. This can bend the cord and result in the the port becoming detached internally. That's why no matter what laptop you decide to purchase, I highly recommend spending the extra on a good extended warranty.

The lowest power consumption at the moment has the Core 2 Duo T5200 with improved battery life capability (it's the slowest of the T5x00 family but needs less power). the two other members of the family are the T5500 and T5600.\n\nhttp://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/index.htm

You can actually conduct a simple test on your battery. Leave the laptop on for about half and hour and after charging fully. See if the battery drains fast. If yes then you have to change your battery. Is yours a new note-book or seasoned one. If new then you can actually contact your vendor and inform him and see what he can do for you.

I work on an HP Compaq NC6000 that work supplied me and I like it.  I've had it over a year. It's been reliable and fast.  My wife has owned a Toshiba for over three years.\n\nI surf the internet, play music on it, write technical papers, send e-mails, write programs, and run numerical analyses on it.\n\nBattery life could be better.  I can only go for about an hour and a half before the battery depletes.\n\nIf you are going to be taking notes in classes, you may want to get two batteries for it so you can get several hours of uptime without connecting to a power supply.\n\nThe rest of it ... Gigahertz, Pentium, Celeron, AMD really doesn't matter these days.  Almost any laptop will play DVDs (with a DVD player), CDs, etc plenty fast.\n\nIn fact, the lower the Gigahertz (the clock rate which at which the processor (AMD or Intel) ticks along), the longer your batter life may be.  Slowest Gigahertz you should go with is about 1.5GHz.\n\nI would make sure that the notebook has at least 512MB of memory, preferably 1GB.  This is important if you run several programs at once (e-mail, internet, music player, and word processor).  If you don't, things can slow down and wear down battery life faster as data is moved on and off disk.\n\nI would go with a 15" LCD.  17" is better if you are at your desk all the time, but if you are carrying the thing around a lot, the smaller display makes for a more compact laptop.  To each his own.\n\nAny brand-name laptop (HP, Dell, IBM, Toshiba) should do well to meet your requirements.
