The Asus Eee PC 1005PR ran for 6 hours and 45 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. That's excellent compared with older Netbooks, but around the average for current members of the Eee PC family (the budget 1001P is an exception: it ran about 1.5 hours less). You can also find similarly long battery life from current Dell and MSI Netbooks, among others, which means that at least 6 hours of life should be your new entry level benchmark for choosing a Netbook.
Asus includes an industry-standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Though the company has cleaned up its varied and confusing Web sites a bit of late, there are still separate pull-down menu items for both "service" and "support," which lead to completely different things. Digging around, one can find FAQs, driver downloads, and even a list of authorized service centers in your state. There's a lot of useful information here; it just may take a little patience to find it (here's a starting point: the 24-7 phone support line is 1-888-678-3688 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-888-678-3688 end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-888-678-3688 end_of_the_skype_highlighting).
