It is interesting to note in the small laptops test in APC in October issue
had the IBM come out tops by far in battery life (8h33 minutes with no
special changes) and the HP was kind of middle of the road.

If you can get your hands on a copy of October APC have a read (we have it
here in tSG if you are coming past)

	See You
