N220: Report your *actual* battery life

[Canuck]

New unit (less than a month) with 5900 mAh battery. I have been getting consistently between 6:30 to 7:20 hours out of the battery with regular internet browsing, moderate video playback (for about 2-3 hours each charge) and keeping the screen at the lowest brightness and the Bluetooth off.

I am just wondering how much battery life you guys are getting between charges? For the comparison to be somewhat subjective, Please report the type of activity you do on the PC (internet, video, word processing..etc), screen brightness, and any other peripherals you maybe running.

Cheers,

Curious as well.

I have the N210 which is about the same in specs as yours and I have been getting about 6 and half as well with reg use.

on average about 6 hours. light internet surfing using a internet dongle (which comsumes more power than wifi)

Makes me wonder about the "up to 12 hours battery life" claim.

I thought that was a bit much when I heard that the n210 and n220 got a 12 hour bat life. My wifes Toshiba nb305 does get about 9 1/2 hours on each charge. The store said about 11 hours. I always go with 2 hours less than what they say at the store. The reason for that is BestBuy said my n210 would only get 8 hours on a charge. They could not say if that was standby time or actual use.
