15 hours of use on my Dell Latitude D630 ATG.

Lasted over 30 hours doing a remote desktop with the screen closed.

 

[Dafthead]

I've got a 6930p too, had it about 8 months, battery life is now circa 1 - 2 hours

 

[Mike_182]

I've never rated the quality of HP laptops - the Elitebooks seem better as we've had a few of those but I still binned them off for a Latitude at the earliest opportunity...

 

[Dafthead]

I never buy Dell anymore after I purchased 4 2850's a few years back and 2 were DOA

 

[Cookie]

3-4 hours IIRC, Lenovo T500

5+ from my X301 though

 

[KDF]

D830 with 9cell - 4-6 hours depending on load.

Some of their older stuff was a bit naff.. stuff from the last couple years to date is really well built and very reliable.

I should know I spend a fair bit of cash with them !

 

[daydotz]

not enough
id guess 130min maybe a bit longer on power saving

c2d t7200 2ghz
2gig ram
nvidia go 7600 (256mb)

 

[Brazo]

Depends on how many cells the battery has, normally either 6 or 9 - some have 8

I get 50 mins on mine on high power or 4 hours on extended!

 

[Mike_182]

15 cell Dells FTW - until you have to carry them!

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

90 mins, Alienware M15

 

[Tom]

Macbook about 5 hr ish.

Same tbh.

 

[Riad]

6-8 hrs on my macbook

 

[DrR]

Macbooks last ages cos they are using slow old processors that don't need much power and have hardly any memory.

Twin graphics card setup FTW!

One intel integrated bogo for extending battery life and a Nvidia GFX for gaming etc!

Had that years back on my old Sony. TBH, never went to the Intel one, just because it was a waste of power shutting it down and restarting it with the Intel GPU.
