I purchased this netbook a few weeks ago for a trip to Hawaii, as my old travel laptop needed to be replaced. (I did receive the 5800 longer life battery.) On the flight from San Diego to Hawaii (5+ hr flight), my Mom and I watched 3 movies downloaded to the hard drive, and the battery still had 3 hrs of run time left! Since the computer is so small, it was very easy to grab or throw in a daybag and run down to the lobby to check my email. It connected to the internet (wireless) VERY quickly. The web surfing was nearly as fast as my 17" hp laptop I use at home. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is b/c one of the shift keys sticks, and the touchpad isn't very fluid. It didn't bother me too much, as I do use it only for traveling, and the small size, bright screen, fast speed, long battery life, and great price more than make up for it. I would not recommend it for your home computer. I don't think the keyboard would hold up very well with heavy daily use.
