Thanks for the ebuyer tip, they have a much better price. Lenovo also have a really good price for theirs, £299 with more RAM and HD capacity <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=FD6DB49790C7411D933567FC361231FB&current-category-id=7182AE435C0A4D8F9899700FAE22F248&action=init">http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=FD6DB49790C7411D933567FC361231FB&current-category-id=7182AE435C0A4D8F9899700FAE22F248&action=init</a> I'm quite tempted by it.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
subjectively the battery life is good, better than my full size<br>
laptop. Having said that I often use it tethered so wouldn't notice.<br>
When I got it I used it for hours on end. The IONs seem to run quite<br>
hot with Nouveau or the Nvidia driver, and I think there may be more<br>
efficient power management with the Nvidia driver. From the spec the<br>
Samsung looks almost identical (well the HP has a slot for a SIM card<br>
and cell modem but I don't know if these are available) so I expect<br>
the power usage to be the same.<br>
<br>
If you are getting the 311c watch out for the different variants, I<br>
think some have a slightly slower processor (not significantly though)<br>
and different memory upgrade options.<br>
<br>
Ebuyer have a good price on the Eee 1201 right now, it looks good...<br>
