Please all make a distinction and open separate bug reports accordingly: - gnome-power-manager reports you battery only lasts X hours while it is much more *actually* -> just an estimation problem - since Gutsy, your laptop uptime on battery is much shorter than in Feisty -> power consumption problem - before Gutsy, the estimated time was bogus (based on vendor information) and now it's accurate, though sorter -> no problem, just desillusion ;-) Please notice it's really normal that even new computers don't last what the advertisement says (who said vendors lie?).
And if some issues are fixed now in Hardy, please let us know. For now this bug mixes about three different problems and thus is useful to nothing at all.
