Sounds on the high side of reasonable to me ... still possible with a brand new battery though I guess ... Bear in mind though that whilst 'power saving' DOES save power, it won't save the 25% you're looking for ... the difference in runtime on my L100 between full power saving (everything dimmed, etc.) and no power saving, running the same test (playing MP3s in a loop) was about 5-10 minutes (out of a total battery life of just under 2 hours with a 3 year old extended battery). Of course, if you actually let the HDD spin down and whatnot then you may get slightly better results (but if you were worried about battery life, wouldn't you suspend it if you were going to leave it for long enough such that spinning down the hard drive would make a difference?) ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
