    Does anyone have any real world data (not marketing lies) on battery runtimes for the E5500 and E6500 with integrated graphics?

    It's an E6500 for sure - the E5500 has CCFL screens only...

    That is a lot lower than I was hoping for. I might have to call Dell tomorrow and see if I can change from the 6 cell to the 9 cell on the order I placed today. I didn't want the battery sticking out the back but might have to endure it to get a little better battery life.

    6 cell lasts for 3 hours? Ugh...The 9 cell is $300, should've bought it with the order when I had the chance.

    I just thought that I would add in here, with this new chipset the battery life depends much more on what is being done than before, and will vary a lot.

    If the battery life was 3 hours during a stress test, it could be almost double in casual use.
