    Has your laptop battery life improved from Vista to 7?


    I recently upgraded my HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop (dv6815nr to be exact) from Vista Home Premium to 7 Home Premium and I can't say for sure but I believe my laptop's battery is working a bit better and longer.

    At first, I thought it drained quicker than when Vista was installed but I think I was just speculating, especially since I hadn't had a good night's rest in a few days.

    I'm very curious as to whether any laptop users, who have switched from Vista straight to the official release of Win 7, have noticed an improvement in battery life/performance?

    Oh that's great!

    Did you run a sort of test comparing the time the battery lasted between the two OSes or did you simply remember how long your battery lasted on Vista?
