Asus Eee PC 900 Battery Life

It’s a bit more expensive than its bestselling predecessor, but the screen is bigger and they’ve made improvements to the trackpad and other hardware. But battery life seems horrid:

In our own DivX movie playback test, it ran for 1 hour 29 minutes, which was just about long enough for us to enjoy a feature-length movie or a couple episodes of our favourite TV show.

89 minutes doesn’t cover many of the feature films I see.
