1138366 2010-09-20 00:50:00 Can someone recommend me a long life (around 8 hours using Wi-Fi) notebook . . . . something with a ~12" screen, and probably Windows 7 (better on the battery than XP?) .

I've looked at the Asus U-series, so was thinking CULV-based?

Essentially, this device will be used as a wireless stocktaking tool, with a USB barcode scanner, connecting via telnet to a linux server, so it needs next-to-no CPU power .

edit: this: www.dell.com

Claims 19 hour battery life.
