Mark:

I have not timed my battery.  I have the 9 cell battery and am happy with
the battery life.

I don't have the apm active but it is loaded.

One thing I noticed is that if I turn off the wireless (switch on left front
next to firewire) that the battery lasts a whole lot longer.  Of course, if
you are using it often then this doesn't make sense.
