    For the 3, 6, and 9-cell batteries. If I have 100% brightness and wifi on, how long should the battery last?

    My 9 cell battery says just about six hours on full charge at 100% brightness and WiFi on.

    And about 9hrs with 60% brightness on the 9cell. Brightness really comes into play.

    With the screen off and the hard drive off and the processor downclocked (complete idle) I'm sure it can last 10+ hours. :p

    Jokes aside, I can confirm what the others have said.
