WranglerManJ:ctitanic,
What do you have in mind? I'm at work now so I can set it up to do whatever. I need to do windows update right now. When thats done let me know how to procede.
I think he wants you to fully charge the battery then take note of the time of day when you unplug the machine. Run regular tasks like surfing, word processing, taking notes, etc. Keep the display at a comfortable brightness (note the brightness level). If you decide to run with WiFi on I would suggest that you keep WiFi on the entire time. If you want to test with WiFi off do that on a different run. If you don't need bluetooth I would suggest turning it off. Keep the unit running continuously until the machine gives you a warning that the battery is about dead. At that time take a look at the clock and calculate the actual run time. After a couple charge / discharge cycles you'll get an idea of the actual run time. You'll also condition the battery for optimum performance.
