At first, battery life is well over 4 hours in normal mode. You can see how many time you still have - straight from system menu bar. If you plug AC adapter, the numbers show you how long laptop will be charging the battery.
Hardware wise, battery compartment is absolutely flat at the bottom of the laptop. There are simply no things that can get broken. In my Ordi laptop's chassis, the latch that holds accumulator was broken in less than one months, and because of that computer is not really portable any more.
I always thought that energy saving tricks (like switching off monitor after some period and auto-hibernating) are annoying, but now I changed my point of view. If monitor instantly goes to working mode, and if system instantly goes awake, it does not any more matter how and when it goes to sleeping mode.
And watching movies and working with wireless somehow do not drain battery as much as they do on most PC laptops - I guess it's because of system being so much optimized for the hardware on which it is supposed to run.
