with minimum brightness, ati in low voltage mode and many applications killed / kernel modules unloaded powertop guesses: (185.2 wakeups/s) Power usage (ACPI estimate): 16.7W (2.8 hours) (long term: 14.4W,/3.3h) Realistically I would say 2hrs maybe 2.5h. Also note that when I was trying out avivo (which not yet has power management support) I got around thirty (or late twenties) W so thee is hope...
