Acer has plenty of 4+ hour battery life laptops. My personal one (rated for 3.5 hours) has done just under 4 many times.

The Dell Latitude D530 iirc is rated for 8hrs but I can easily get 6hrs which beats my early Acer's 2½ hr battery. I assume that all laptops have better battery life than they use to except for the low end machines, but of course.

Acers generally come with 6 and 8 cell models, as I recall. The 6 cells are in the cheaper models, and are generally 2.5 hours. On most of the Travelmate lines, there are a set with six and a set with eight cells. They have a couple of really long life batteries (5 to 7 hours, I believe) but I haven't used any of those.
