I would add, what good is a laptop that only lasts 1.3 hours? Even if you purchased the 2x cell, bigger-than-a-breadbox battery, it still probably would not last 3 hours. That's a total deal-breaker.
That battery life is laughable regardless of what type of laptop it is. The Core 2 Duo, "multimedia", Dell XPS 1710 has nearly twice this battery life. On a CNET test, it lasted 2 hours, 40 minutes.
Event the Core 2 Duo, Sony VAIO VGN-AR390E Digital Studio notebook has better battery life than this and this particular Sony laptop is considered to have poor battery life by most reviews.
