Please post your actual battery life times. When posting, please indicate if using Toshiba's default power settings or modified.

I'm getting right at 3 hours using Toshiba's default settings, which is set to use the Regular profile when in battery mode. Have not tried using Long Battery Life yet, though.

Like you I'm getting around 3 hours, actually a little more using the default settings. I've set up a couple of different profiles based on how I use my tablet to experiment with. For example, note taking in a dark theatre on battery power, I really reduce the screen brightness, reduce the processor load, turn off the wifi, etc.... Another example, I have a full power profile on battery with the screen at full, processer cranking, etc.... On that full power battery profile I'm getting right at 2 hours. On the previously mentioned one, I'm getting a reading that tells me 3:45 or so, although I haven't really put this through paces yet.

All in all, the battery life expectations seem good to better than good for me.
