for something thats not a netbook - battery life is suprisingly good. but i suppose thats to be expected from something running a ULV processor.

personally, Im willing to sacrifice 1-3hrs battery life for a processor with a little more beef then say a Intel Atom N280/N450/N455. it might not win any awards for speed but at least it will load stuff up quicker, be more multitask friendly, support x64bit Processing and 4Gb of ram and be overall less sluggish then your highest spec'd 10.1" netbook.

10.1" atom netbooks wouldnt be so bad if they supported 4Gb. it would certainly help out alot
