    I think you should. I used to get 3.15 with a regular LCD, 8400M GS and a T7200.

    LED(4/7 Brightness), undervolted CPU, no audio/video playing(i.e low HDD access).. you should be able to make it.. Standard usage with my 9 cell, 8400 GS(Music, browsing, office tasks etc) on full brightness gives me around 5:30...
