This is not as low as others reported but acceptable (yielding 3h of time on battery). Maybe the i7-640M in my model is responsible for this.

Screen brightness and bluetooth are the other big battery drainers for
me.  Without sony-laptop module by Norbert I can't easily change the
screen brightness.  Turning of bluetooth and 3g card (when not in use,
of course), cuts down on a few watts as well.
