I have had mine for just over a week and like it. Got in a 5-6 hour battery life with WiFi on and the 6 cell battery (not exactly sure how long, was in multiple sessions).Typing on it was fine. I liked the hot key (Fn-F2 or something) to switch off the touchpad so my errant thumbs don't switch positions on me in my document. So far so good. My wife liked mine enough that she made me buy her one.
I wish they had made the cover for the black one black as well, plus the cover doesn't look as if it were designed for the 6 cell battery. I also would have liked the "performance button" like some of the Eee PC have which can overclock or underclock at the touch of a button, instead of having to flash the BIOS and then configure in BIOS.
Got mine for $320 after Live Search cashback and a 10% Ebay coupon. The second one ended up being $370 because the coupon was single-use.
If my post were an Ebay feedback...
"Awesome. Will buy again. A++++++"
Note that I have not owned any other netbooks, so can only compare my experience to normal notebooks, of which I have two and have owned two others.
If you update the wind's bios to 1.09 it includes underclocking when on batt. and over when on outlet.
3 cell gets 2.5 - 3.5 hours. YMMV depending on what you use it for, what brightness you set it at, and whether or not any of the external features are on (BT, wifi).Let me get this straight.. the 6-cell is giving about 5.45-6 hours.. what does the 3-cell get?
