    T61 with x3100 or NVS 140M for 14" standard display, how much can I expect that a batery life is shorter/longer with NVS?

    We use the lenovo T61's at RPI.
    Ours has a T7300 @2.00GHz, 2GB ram, Quadro NVS140 (which is really a chipset, not an actual card), 160gb 5400rpm hdd, 15.4" screen, DVD DL burner and a 9 cell battery.

    My fellow students say that they get around 4.5 - 6 hours of battery life depending on what they are doing.

    It is a great machine, I have not even used it other than seeing that it works.

    It has Vista Ultimate and it has a bunch of programs licensed to RPI.

    I have to sell it, becuase I bought my Voodoo ENVY U709 before I was awarded the laptop.

    If you are interested, email me or send me a message
