I think laptop makers are going in the right direction with long battery life. I have an Acer Aspire Timeline ( http://www.acer.com/timeline/ http://www.acer.com/timeline/ ) and I usually get 8.30 - 9hrs of life just browsing. I love the battery life and it has completely changed how I work with a laptop.
