low power laptop

Dell laptops are power hungry. Most consume 40-60W and this weakness is demonstrated by the fact that Dell make very few claims about battery life of their notebooks/laptops. Do any of them last much more than 2-2.5 hours?

How about a laptop with at least 5 hours battery life? Speed is not the first demand for everyone. For many portability is more important.

I couldn't agree more. Many business users need nothing more that word processing / web browsing / email - don't need power-hungry gaming oriented video cards or bleeding edge processor speed. Would be nice if Dell posted power consumption / battery life data as well.
