| Yeah the battery was my only concern. I basically spent the last few weeks asking around about battery life. Most people say they get theirs going around 3-4 hours. I also heard that P4 processors eat up battery big time and I should go with a Centrino. Anyone know about that?

| I get about 3.5 hours run time on my Centrino laptop, and I just bought a replacement battery. Then again I mostly use it when I have a power supply handy, so I never really worry about it.
