I just bought one from Target (on sale for $250). The battery life appears to be about 3.5 hours on the model I bought. I had just bought a Magellen GPS (on sale for $200) for an upcoming trip, but it had a horrible map background (salesman said it had USGS topo maps, but you had to pay extra to download those), so I got the idea of using the GPS receiver I have for an older Dell laptop, and downloaded a 60-day demo of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2009. Sweeeeeet! For just a couple pounds more, I have a much better GPS unit, a full-function laptop, and the wireless connection works better than the one I had for the Dell. The slightly smaller keyboard causes a few problems for me typing (but probably just something to get used to). With the 3 (or is it 4?) USB ports, and other ports, you could connect to a full size monitor and/or keyboard if you want. I see almost no downside to this thing! Sure, it doesn't have a built in CD/DVD drive, but again, you can get an external one if you want (how often do you use a CD/DVD drive anyway?). And of course, it has a smaller screen than a larger laptop or desktop (Duh!). You can download software you might need via the internet, or you could do a LAN connection to access another computer's drives.
Bottom line, get it!!!!Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life.
