PC 900 owners about the ultra-portable's low-capacity battery.
Confusing statements posted in online reviews led buyers to believe
that they would get a larger capacity battery than they actually did —
and they weren't happy. Asus has, however, made a conciliatory gesture
by extending a £10 high-capacity battery upgrade offer. Mobile Computer
has the full announcement, plus quite a bit of background on how this
fuss all got started. The batteries will be available June 10 and in
the meantime Eee PC owners can download a BIOS update that Asus claims
will add half an hour to battery life."<p><a target="_blank" href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/31/2114224&from=rss"></a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/31/2114224&from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p>
