Please do so battery life might not be important here as I do have an AC source in the backyard. But 2 hours I think is way to short

I agree.

The thing about this netbook is portability. If the battery life is so low, what's the point of having a netbook?

I expect nothing less than 4 hours TBH. I rather have slightly bulkier batteries. Looks like I can still rely on my TyTN II.

I agree on 4 hours and lets see what Adrian finds on this

Cool

I'm now typing this little EEEPc in the college - and guess what, if I have to 'dock' it in my library, I need to hunt for that AC powerpoint. Too freaking bad, those battery life is pretty short. Now I'm in the middle of recharging it.

Wish to get myself a 2nd battery as a backup. Or the ones with higher miliamp per hour rating.

Thanks for the update Adrian and hope they do include the 6 cell battery as an accessory to bad it wasn't included as an option
