30 hours (claimed) battery life? That sounds ridiculous. How close (or far away) to the truth is that? Anybody know more?

  I think it's with an external battery slice.

    Is that some briefcase-sized device you strap to your notebook with bungee cords?

      It's a thin battery pack that attaches to the bottom of the laptop and works in conjunction with the system battery. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-74450.html http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-74450.html

  That's for extended battery used together with the regular battery.

    Ah, the fine print. I just feel if this was just the actual battery, we would have heard a bigger announcement!

      15 hours (claimed) with the regular 9 cell battery. Not too shabby.

  I know, it is hard to imagine but you can have that with ThinkPad (with external battery that gets attached to a bottom)

  battery life > battery life while actually using computer.

    The * often states it;s without wifi on and at 50% screen brightness, so that's pretty much the same thing.
