Yeah. It drives me mad. My thinkpad has 5 hours in console mode and about a half in xorg. From the very start I was not sure if that battery was correct. Since I started this thread, to report what decision I made: I will get small case, chieftec bt-02b-180, intel g550 and asus p8h61-m lx3 r2.0. I hope this will run 5.2 in graphical mode.
