Hi,

I'm a bit confused... I have a X61s, with the preinstalled Windows Vista I get max. nearly 10 hours, normal use maybe 6 or 7 hours.
With Linux (Arch) I get 4.5 hours, even with maximum screen brightness (haven't manages to get it down) and most of power savings don't work so far. Are there several versions of the battery? I can't understand you get so short times...
