Well I think I'm on to something with the screen brightness. As I said above, the Toshiba's screen is considerably brighter, and had to be set to about 60-65% to be on the same level as the ASUS on full brightness.
If the reviewers set both machines to 65%, the Toshiba will be much, much brighter and will therefore be using more juice.
There is no way to match the brigthenss...the Tosh can be either a bit dimmer or a bit brighter. I chose to go with a bit brighter. As it is right now, they are both at 91% battery (playing Kingdom of Heaven), and the ASUS is reporting 5:34 left, while the Toshiba is reporting 6:14.
Also, can one of the mods please fix the "304" typo in the subject? Please change it to NB305.
