Centrino isn't the best in the world, in some cases it is better to go with a Pentium M, and 802.11b separate because the 802.11b from a certain company can be stronger than the Centrino based solution.
Besides most laptops now-a-days let you adjust the battery options, but the battery itself often determines the length one charge can hold.
I can get 5 hours easy off this "extended life" battery from IBM at full brightness, music playing, etc.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
