battery life on new 15"

The LCD eats up a lot of power, especially being so big. Besides, it's really really bright. Bring it down to about half the brightness and it's still perfectly usable, and you just gained a lot in battery power. Turn off BlueTooth and AirPort when you don't need it.

I was also thinking of inverting the screen colours, typing blue/white onto a black background, to see if that helps conserve power? Anyone know?
