I got this machine on Tuesday afternoon. I fired it up Tuesday evening. Since then it went to and from work with me all week, it went to a friends house with me, and I took it to Starbucks to get a coffee today. If this was my old Toshiba Satellite it would have been rebooted at least 10 times in that span and it would have an uptime of about 2 hours.
This Powerbook has never been turned off! I turned it on Tuesday evening and I haven’t turned it off! It just amazes me. I have Solaris servers at work that have worse uptime’s then this laptop!!!! It truly is amazing.
And the battery. It really does get close to the advertised 5 hours.
I love this laptop!

Jeez! My previous post was the “kiss of death”. Since that post on Saturday afternoon. I’ve had to reboot my PowerBook twice. TWICE! The first was Sunday afternoon. I had a few Safari windows open, I was ripping CDs into…
5 hr battery time? Now that is what every laptop should be getting.
My dual boot Sager (W2K and VL4.0) gets anywhere from just about 2 to just about 3 depending upon what I am doing with it.
Mark,
I agree. Battery time sucks on most Intel/Amd laptops. The exception is the new Intel Wireless boards/chips. I believe they get close to 5hrs also.
