I run Arch on my 9-cell-equipped T430 and get ~8 hours with wifi, reasonable screen brightness, and light load. That's very close to the advertised life.

On my E520, I was getting about 2 to 2.5 hours under similar conditions (I have the 6 cell battery, however) in Debian; under Windows I get 4-5 hours.
