A collegue stole my monitor when I was out getting a puncture repaired 
today, so
messed up my test. However, it still estimates I have 1.38 hours battery left,
running from 8am (approx) using it for my lab access, and intarweb (ilug and
stuff).

As soon as I get the monitor back, I'll do a proper test.
In work, cpu utilisation tends to be very low.

My son tested it by watching episodes IV and V of starwars (DVD's) on the way
to, and back from Dundalk, think it had 45 minutes battery left.
