ipad battery 25 watthour claims 9 hours battery life
hp slate battery 30 watthour claims 5 hours battery life
hp mini 110 netbook 6-cell battery 55 watthour claims 6 hours battery life
so the netbook w/ the 6-cell battery is working w/ 2X the battery energy of a tablet, yet gets (w/ HDD, not SSD) maybe 2/3 the claimed battery life.
I'm sure the netbook (like red's) does better w/ SSD and fan not on 100% of the time, but still you can see the PC-based platform is at least 2X power consumption of a cellphone-based platform.
