I've found I have better life from my Dell Vostro 1310 with 9cell battery by like an hour or more (10am to 3:30pm with the same charge is just... :D), bluetooth is *much* more usable and suspend works pretty much every time (was typically only once per boot last release). Sadly, I've also found that NetworkManager is noticeably more painful than last release -- almost sticky in that it doesn't seem to roam with the same fluidity any more. Thankfully it normally doesn't seem to require a reboot to un-stick it though, I just flick the RF switch off, right click the icon and check disable wireless, count to 20, reverse and voila. Overall it's a big step up IMHO. > Ubuntu is still a nice distro to work with.
