Isn't that asking a lot, when XO-1 laptops (and probably XO-1.5's too)
barely last 2 hours when brand new from the factory?  (I could be wrong,
but that's my recollection, depending how intensive cam/components are all
being used during those 2 hours!)

Perhaps you want to ask when a majority of batteries can no longer sustain
60 minutes of very active use within an XO-1?

PS if you it doesn't bother you, am cc'ing power at lists.laptop.org so this
knowledge is shared more publicly+usefully.
