    hey I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W530 netbook, which came with Windows 7 and I found it too slow for my needs, so I put Windows XP on it, however Asus states that its 6-cell battery gets 10 hours on a full charge, cbatterie.com, which it did used to. I haven't looked at the battery meter in a while, but I just pulled it off the charger at 100% and it says I have 4:56 hours at a 90% charge.
    Would there be some reason that putting by XP on it, it would no longer be able to address its full battery capacity? I am confused about this.
