I'm curious what type of battery life my new laptop would get running OS X then. Its a relatively inexpensive Dell and I can get ~5-6 hours of battery life running Vista which is supposed to have worse power consumption than 7.

Assuming that your facts hold true for all laptops and I get 6 hours running Win7, that translates to ~15 hours of battery life running OS X. That would be something that would get me to consider switching.

edit: that's straight out of the box with no tweaking of power consumption settings.
