    I would appreciate any data on battery runtime for these 2 models (along with cpu speed and graphics memory).

    Also, could you verify via the device manager that the cardbus controller (pcmcia) is the Texas Instruments controller. Any additional comments on performance/reliability for these models would also be appreciated - I'm trying to decide which one to order.

    Thanks,
    Harvey

    Depends on how you use it. Probably the maximum (with low screen brightness) would be about 7 hours with the modular bay battery, and like 4 without. For games and stuff though, it would probably go down to 4 or 5 hours or 2/3.
