    It just shows how little we should rely on battery runtime estimates!

    I am an Asus 1000H owner. I am very surprised to see not many netbooks are reaching an expected running time. It seems as if Asus 1000's are top of the tier right now in terms of battery life.

    Thats assuming it is correct that the Dell Mini does in fact get 4 and some odd hours of batt. life with a 6 cell.
