How do you define "long battery life": 4 hours, 5, 8, more? Does the evaluation of the battery life include 802.11 g/n radio being on constantly & fan running as needed?
I myself would have picked Asus Transformer or some other Asus or Acer netbook if it was not for reported bad customer service experience whenever one was in need of service. That leaves nothing but heavier Lenovo Thinkpad 11 in screen 'puters for me. (But then I already have T61. **ARGH**hell with buying another more portable but still not light enough laptop**)
