what exactly do you consider good battery life then. My aspire one got 6 hours and an extended battery was available that was rated for 10 hours.

The simple fact is that the only way to have great battery life AND performance is to have a gigantic battery. This is why the ipad3 weighs more than the 2 does.
And the problem is that the big batteries just don't last. I bought a battery for my dell laptop and it lasted about 3 months before it was as bad as the old one, and my HP business class tablet/netbook (core2 with a pen-input swivel screen) will no longer charge the battery since i let it go completely dead. Who's bright idea was it to but a battery level circuit in the battery that runs off battery voltage?

that's what poo does


My idea for the next big breakthrough in tech is a combination of all the above. It's an idea i designed myself. Why have a vent in the bathroom ceiling? It's inefficient. The toilet of the future will have a slight negative air pressure that sucks the stink directly out of the commode before it wafts into the room.
