Fujitsu Siemens laptop 55 mins max



Got a new Fujitsu Siemens laptop, and I am only getting 55 mins out of
it on a full recharge (surfing the net via wireless connection) and
using MS word.

Should I be getting a longer run out of it on the battery?

Celeron CPU
XP pro
512MB mem
(40GB HD)

What should I set the power settings to, so I maximise its ability to
run on the battery?

Thanks
CU
