depending on the workload.
(When I first plugged it in in XFCE it said something
like 9hours or more but I refuse to believe that,
rather just file for future consideration.

I don't expect nearly as much with KDE,
but this is just a test for a bunch of things to follow.
I see the same manufacturer has a bunch more
of these same form-factors with i3 and i5 cores
so I expect battery life will get better as they get
into the Haswell stuff (later this year ?)
