laptop batteries

I've been running my lightweight Fujitsu Seimens S7010 for about 2 years now, although there was a period of non use whilst using my massively oversized HP NW9440. A few months ago when I started playing with Ubuntu on the Fijitsu I've noticed the massive improvement in battery life compared with the HP. I've just noticed a warning on here, the battery logo gone red but it's still got an hour battery life left. I'd be lukcy to get an hour at 100% on the HP.

After speaking with JT at work, I'm seriously considering running Ubuntu on the HP with VMWare to try to improve performance.
