Same here.
I made a bootable USB stick and installed Fedora 18 on an old Dell1520. 
Installation and updating was a breeze, no brainer really.
With the previous ubuntu install we could not get battery to above 83% - 
Fedora it goes to 100% and shows 5 hours life.
BUT I do not think this to be correct. Too many are reporting laptops 
with 5+ hours.
At 83% battery life was 1 hour and 19 minutes, then at 100% it's 5 +hours.
Will  test today
Roger
