    Today I got a laptop for 500 instead of 800 it's really good and very quick. Plus it looks awesome and is Shiny :p



    Now I need some Vista help my old laptop ran on XP and so does my desktop this one came with Vista. Only one small problem is there a way to show battery estimated time left? It only shows the battery percent left I heard Vista removed that option because they said it was inaccurate before but I dont know because my old laptop before it broke estimated battery life perfectly on XP.



    So anybody know if Vista can estimate battery time left or if I can get a program that does that ? :p

    I was actually wondering the same thing... Any more details on how to do that? I'm running a Compaq C712nr... I upgraded it from Vista Home Premium back to XP Pro... I looked but couldn't find the anything there under power options...
