I get about eight hours from my ASUS netbook, which has a D510 (dual core smt) 
processor. First portable I normally take without a charger, it's never let me 
down yet, including seven hours running a book reader in an airport.

But the idea of touch is interesting, some things really lend themselves to that 
user interface. I can't do without real keyboard, but for a few things I would 
like the touch. I hear Ubuntu runs Android under Linux, maybe there's a solution 
there.
