It depends on what you are doing and how your doing it. I can disable wireless and plugin, unplug all usb ports, turn my screen down and websurf for 2 1/2 to 3 hours without a problem on my 9-cell. I've been able to play Soldier of Fortune 2 on-line with a USB mouse on wireless with LG screen turned down to the 2nd lowest setting for 1.25 hours which surprised the hell outta me actually! Now if I turn the screen up all the way I'd be lucky to play 40 minutes.

Edit.. Ohh I've been able to play a full 90 minute movie on 9-cell with brightness turned down 1 setting only. Still had a bit of time afterwards left.

My 6 cell lasts 2.5-2.75 hours w/ wireless on, screen at 2nd lowest setting. Just browsing the internet. This is with Powermizer set to minimum and with bios A05.

Damn dude.
With wireless enabled, screen at 3/7, and browsing, I get about 2.5hrs (but I got 2!) on my 9-Cell. However, I do have a 7200RPM drive, and sometimes play music softly.
I also have an external mouse as well, which takes some power.

i get about 3 hours out of normal use.

That is having everything on normal power usage and just surfing the net over wireless.
