Going online with my airport and with backlighting over half, my 15" 1.25Ghz
PowerBook gets 120-150 minutes easy. Turning off the airport card (because
I'm not going online but writing and working on presentations for classes) I
get over 3 hours. The new PowerBooks don't get 4-5 hours like the iBooks did
but they aren't as bad as you suggest!
