Yes, sure, it can happen.  But in my case, they are REAL 4 hours.
First, because I can use it in the library without power supply,  and
second, because in Ubuntu this used to be the battery life of my
netbook.
But sometimes there are false messagestoo.  Some days ago, I disconnect
the power supply and a message appears saying:  "You have 11 hours
remain (100%)".
Very funny.  :-D 



Anyway I'm happy, Thank you for this great release!
