That is so 1999...

But honestly Karel, do you really get 7 hours solid usage from an N800? I'm lucky if I get 4 hours surfing Wikipedia which involves a lot of reading and occasional downloading over WiFi. There's no way I've ever gotten 7 hours *usage* from my N800.

I may have read that this Asus is using a Pentium M CPU which may explain why it doesn't have stellar battery life.
