I must be HIGH not only did I say 14 hours 1 time I said it twice... 
I know I read it some where and and of course now I the only review I
can find is here and

Beyond its feather weight and slim profile, the real story with the
Libretto is its long battery life. Thanks to a 600-MHz Transmeta Crusoe
chip, the laptop runs fast yet stays impenetrably cool. Toshiba rates
standard battery life at up to four and a half hours. Sub in the
0.6-pound high-capacity battery and you get 11 to 14 more hours - long
enough to get through a rolling blackout. Best of all, when the looters
inevitably show up, you'll be able to secret the Libretto away in the
tiniest nook or cranny.
