I also have a T61, but I have the integrated video (Intel, not NVidia),
and I get 4.5-5 hours on battery. This machine is maxed out with 4G RAM,
15.4" widescreen, 7200rpm 200G SATA2 drive, etc. 

So the rated battery life isn't a complete lie, but some options will
certainly prevent you from getting it.
