Note: I have a late 2013 edition, Sputnik 3, there's a newer - 2015 edition which has a much better battery life from what I've read.

On average lasts ~7 hours, less if you're watching a video.

Yes, sleep/wake up is working as expected.

I myself was very impressed when I got the laptop, I didn't expect such beautiful and fine tuned laptop from Dell.

I have a Dell E6320 (Core i3-2310M) from 2011 that I'm running Arch on with a 6 cell battery. The laptop can easily go for 6 hours with WiFi on if you're just editing code or managing some servers via SSH.

Upgraded to 16GB of RAM and an SSD. The only thing I wish was that the screen was higher resolution than 1366x768, but otherwise it's absolutely fantastic for Linux. The dock works so seamlessly it's amazing.
