Pretty good and accurate; I get a realistic 5+ hours on my totally loaded system. If you are savvy you can make this little “toy” incredibly powerful and useful. Keyboard has some flex so that’s not so good, but it is okay. The cost is rated as high, but I would gladly buy mine over again.

@Crimsure, yes, you can do that. I’ve owned mine 2 years now, and for one period of 3 months I was using it 8 hours every day. I totally love it. I increased its memory with a card, and I run a lean & mean XP SP3 in about 3 GB. Now this 901 competes against netbooks with 160 GB HDDs in them, but I love my 901; so glad I bought it. Yes, change the RAM yourself to 2 GB soon as you buy it.

@connadders, you can use any mouse you want, and you can disable the touchpad when a mouse is attached. Yes, otherwise you keep muddling your keystrokes up on the touchpad. But once you have figured that out, it is no problem at all.

XP came with the alternate 12GB model. The one he reviews has Linux and 20GB. I bought Linux for the extra memory, and then I replaced Linux with XP SP3 and got the best of both worlds. I love mine—it is a miniature powerhouse!

@4204401, these little guys are too small physically to have DVD drives. Although you can go so far as to even change the OS with a USB stick, an external DVD drive is an extremely luxurious asset if you can afford one.

When i do abit of my own time work, i use skype to talk face to face to clients does this support skype WEBCAM AND MIC without too much problems (able to be understood and understand others)?
TIP: Buy a 2gb memo stick to keep your data on so you dont use the netbooks memory and keep the speed.
