Vaio

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

I've had a Vaio C1X for a couple years now, and while I've been happy with
it for the most part, the battery life has always sucked. The extra-large
battery that Sony described as a "six-hour" battery actually only lasts
about two hours.

The current model (C1VN, based on a Transmeta processor, would presumably
have a longer battery life. I think I heard someone mention 9 hours. If
this is really the case, it would be worth replacing my current machine.
If not, I may as well just upgrade the hard drive.

Is anyone here running Linux on one of these, and can you confirm the
actual battery life you experience under Linux?

Thanks.
