I am on my ibook.I have a download going that will take about 26 minutes.Battery monitor currently indicates I have 25 minutes worth of go-juice left.No charger with me.I have set the power settings to "best battery performance" though that feature does nothing.

I will keep you guys updated.

I will be to bored to sit here for the next 22 minutes.The "better battery life" option seems to have bought me a few minutes.However the ibook will go to sleep at around 2:00 minutes of battery left.
