That's pretty good time on the battery for a Sony. I'm lucky to get one hour with all the drivers installed on my work laptop. Of course I'm running Windows XP on it. :-)
So I've had others tell me, but in comparing it to a friend's machine it's not that great (he's getting 4-5 hrs). Mind you, his is a less power hungry centrino running XP with full access to the ACPI stuff.
I like the extra cpu cycles and I'm willing to wait for better linux acpi support. At least I know my laptop won't become a spam daemon anytime soon (or worse) :)

Yeah,
Mine is a P4 Mobile. I don't think it is Centrino. It runs good, just eats up the battery. That and it fragments the disk a lot. I definitely like EXT3 over NTFS. It has it's affect on the system performance as well (less disk grinding).
