The real power killer will be harddrives and the LCD backlight... especially if it's got a big screen...

To be honest the power meter in Windows XP can't cope with the varying power loads of the Centrino. The fact it says 1 hour remaning is more than likely wrong and related to your current task (i.e. if you just booted it up the system would have been using a lot of power and it'll take a while for the meter to adjust)

Mine lasts about an hour if I'm lucky, but my battery has been recharged a few hundred times so is getting near the end of its life.
