    Anybody know battery life? How good is this laptop?

    My current Presario F572US came down with a severe hardware glitch a couple months ago. I got it sent in, and most of the problems were fixed, but I still can't get the thing to go into sleep mode without having to do a hard restart. Not to mention that the battery only lasts about 20 min now...

    So I'm looking for a replacement...
