Yup, that's with:
- Bightness set to 6
- MP3 playing in the background (medium loudness)
- Network card and modem turned off
- Surfing with wireless connection
- Occasional use of optical drive
- Graphics card overclocked to 350/725
70 minutes was too short and I told myself that I should have ordered an extra 9-cell battery with the 35% off coupon. After getting over the fact that I will be spending a little more money on a battery, I went on ebay and spent $128 for a new 9-cell battery this morning. Then in the afternoon, I realized that I should call to ask Dell if everything was normal, and I ended up with a free 9-cell. So now I will be putting one of them on ebay, unless I could get my friend with a 9200 to buy in from me!
