Re: Netbooks- Battery Life

I completely agree. The new Dell Latitude, not Inspiron, netbook, can
be purchased with the 6-cell and it has a larger keyboard than the
Inspiron that they originally came out with.

Those stats looked way off, compared to my own testing. I had an Acer
Aprire-One and a Lenovo S10e vastly outperforming those times. However,
I
read the article. Those models were tested with 3 cell batteries and I
have
6 cell batteries for both of them. I've seen many of the manufacturers
change the base offering to include 6 cell batteries.

Moral of the story...get a 6 cell battery and you will get reasonable
performance.
