    How are people getting on with the battery life? Poor, acceptable, good? Can you get 3 hours of typing (no wireless) out of it?

    Those that got the U300/U305 from the store, how do you put Toshiba bluetooth on your machine? Is it easy? I dont mean the USB donger, but real one you put inside your laptop.

    Is it easy to do?

    Bump. Can someone share more of their U305 experiences after a few months? Anyone had serious HW issues? I am asking because a friend is interested in either the U305s or the Lenovo L3000 Y410. Why? Because they are in the same price range. :D

    I went to BB and OD to try out the U305 and Lenovo Y410.

    U305's key is better but it seems to be easily conformed (keyboard flex?) with force. YIKES!

    Lenovo Y410, on the other hand, has almost keyboard flex but has worse key (from the way it travels and the feel). The display model had two keys felt out already!? Hmmmm...

    Arghghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....can't have it all with budget laptops. :D

    I can get around 5 hours on the normal battery (Brightness low, MSWord, wifi off)

    Overall very happy with it. Compared to my previous notebook, a Core duo T2080, i can only get around 2-2.5 hours max.
