Been using mine for a while now, and the only comment I can make regarding battery life is that I get a 30-40% battery life warning at about 2 hrs, 20 mins with wifi on, WiFi powersave mode, processor on normal, and screen at first notch. This is general usage web surfing, email etc. not full time streaming audio/video. But there is some downloading of files, and the odd streaming audio/video (just not a constant like in a benchmark test).. Just general usage.
All in all, it's seemed very capable. Mine also drops in life in intervals of 10%. And also I've had a couple of occasions now where the unit was at 90%, I went to my desktop and synced it to install something, but the battery charging light continued to blink for almost an hour.
I was considering getting the beefier battery recently, because I'm a rather heavy WiFi user. If anyone has any comments, I'm listening..
