With Linux's newer powermanagement features.. Things like the new wireless stack (the dscape thing, what is it called now? n802.11?), powertop, tickless kernel, etc etc should help to extend the battery life on the thing.

How about another hour or so?

I am actually kinda excited about this laptop. For 2 reasons.. Firstly, personally I want one. Secondly, every review I've seen online always had people wanting to buy one, or several, just as a toy.

The thing is so cheap it should be popular just as a sort of secondary thing. But cheap, small laptops like this can possibly be a huge foot-in-the-door for Linux-on-the-desktop.
