On our video playback battery test, the Eee PC lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes with its four-cell battery, which is decent for an ultraportable laptop, especially one this inexpensive. Both the HP 2133 Mini-Note and the (much more expensive) HTC Shift fared much worse, each lasting for less than two hours, while Intel's Classmate passed the four-hour mark, proving this particular combination of components is capable of impressive battery life.
Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's support Web site includes the expected driver downloads and a brief FAQ but lacks useful features such as user forums or the chance to chat in real time with a technician.
