    Is it good, and how long will it last with full brightness, wifi, and web browsing. I know 6 cell lasts about 2:40 minutes with NVIDIA.

    Probably adds another hour or two at most? The nvidia graphics in the T61 is a power hog.

    Is there anyway to make it use up the same power as the Intel or whatever it's called graphics card. I am willing to sacrifice my graphics.

    maybe if you underclock the 2d settings it may start using less power .. but I haven't tried it yet. Mine is overclocked, lol, for performance
