I get about 10hrs from my new thinkpad with the 9 cell battery and fedora 17. Not sure exactly, don't run it straight without suspension. Runs in 7-18 watts depending on wireless, screen brightness, processor usage...

The Thinkpad I've had since the start of the year gives over three hours
with Debian/LXE installed. Well, that's what acpid says - I've only
run it for around two hours at a time, and then there's a predicted nearly an
hour left. On NEC laptops, one with Debian, one with Ubuntu, I had about the
same, but with a sharp taper at the end.

newly printed Swiss francs to try to keep its currency down because of all the
money flooding into Zurich.
