dell battery life

[ponjovi]

Hi, can anyone give me input on the battery life of Dell laptops?

Am looking at upgrading from baseline 65Whr battery to 94Whr battery, but I don't know the respective battery lives.

Also, does a P4 use more power than a Celeron of similar speed rating?


Thanks

Well... I got a pretty battery hungry laptop...

Dell Inspiron 8500, P4 2.4 M, 15.4 inch widescreen SVGA+ LCD, 64 MB 4200 Go. (Full Specs in my sig)

It is around 4 months old, and still manages to give me over 3 hrs of battery life.

If you are looking for battery life primarily... get a Pentium M, preferably with 2 batteries.

I have a 72 WHr Primary Battery btw. And i get the 3 hrs with the screen at almost full brightness.
