>Yes Mark same problem you mentioned. If that would make you feel better I started to get before normal battery lifetime expectations (used little and mostly on the go - I can be on the go rarely). I am glad you are happy with the Toshiba:) It was worse than Dell for me

Only problem with my Toshiba is a buggy touchpad/jumpy cursor.
If I had it to do over again, I would not get the Toshiba for this reason.
I will try something different next time!
