I just bought the 11.6", as shown but with a 4 cell battery (though rated the same). Anyway just wondering what others think of this machine? It is beautiful, nice screen, nice keyboard with backlighting, very snappy with the SSD. Really I love everything about this thing EXCEPT the battery life. It can't even idle 7 hours. Doing work I wonder if it will get past 4 hours. So I have a couple questions for you guys. I've set the power settings to be fairly conservative, what else can I do? Is there such a thing as an external portable battery? I'm going to call Samsung to see if the 6 cell is available.
I may return this, I hate to since it is otherwise a REALLY nice laptop. If I do, what would be a good alternative with a good 11.6" screen, SSD, Sandy Bridge and with 8 hours of battery life when used about 2 out of those 8 hours (screen off, with several programs pulling some data from the internet, nothing to high load)?
