I haven't had a problem yet, with the battery. I would love it to run 12+ like the iPad. But again, as TW hhas said, there are tradeoffs to make. 6 hours of battery is just fine for me.
John, how is your battery life on your Netbook, now that you have a SSD drive? My Acer ran over 6 hours and still had 39% battery life. It was running a TIVO like program, screen on the entire time and had WIFI operating the whole time. I was pretty amazed. I haven't upgraded the screen, but I am adding the mini-PCIE video decoder, to improve watching of movvies.
