Trust me I know all about battery failing with my current acer (battery stores less the then 50% of charge after less then a year of only moderate use, yet acer tells me thats its lifespan).

634674 2008-02-02 11:34:00 Just an update stormdragon, I've tried finding some more information on the z99he (thanks google translator!)....
It *may* have a 4800 mAh battery, I know it's a 6 cell battery but thats really low. I'll find out for sure when I can see one next.

In the mean time I made myself a spreadsheet of the eee vs z99he, and it pretty much comes out even (assuming the z99he has less battery life). Decisions, decisions.....

634675 2008-02-02 13:01:00 Apparently they struggle to last 90 minutes.. so Ive been told by a friend who works at one of the DSE stores from a customer. I saw them too and asked if any of his customers had given feedback on them...

Nice CPU thou, total opposite end of the scale compared with the EeePC :p

634676 2008-02-02 19:05:00 Thanks for that cold fusion and chilling silence, looks like I might need to continue my search or bow to the eee. stormdragon (6013)
634677 2008-02-02 22:15:00 Thanks chill.
If it wasn't for that poor battery life I would have bought one. Eee here I come!

I wish you luck on your noble search, stormdragon. Let us know what you end up getting.

634678 2008-02-03 05:53:00 After much searching I think I will probably settle for an Asus Eee and a new battery for my Acer.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
