The tech specs on the battery are about four hours according to the website. But I agree with most of the postings it is rather expensive.

It's a good start, but why couldn't they use Atom N455? I'll get one when they upgrade the specs; newer platform... At least give it more RAM!

While I personally think the price isn't high considering it is far more functional than most tablets, but personally I'm much more interested in an android based tablet that encourages applications from independent developers. Microsoft has the same business model as Apple but less reliable.

I'm waiting for Android 3.0 based tablets next year 😀

Pretty beefy for a tablet!

I see Atom and GMA 3150, and can't help but think of Zacate or Ontario being a far better choice...

I have an ExoPC. The battery life is about 3 1/2 hours with Wifi on, about 5 hours with it off. The 2MB of RAM is the max an N450 can handle. The machine is great, it has super snappy performance with the fast SSD drive and the Broadcom Crystal HD. You only notice that the CPU is slow if you are doing things that really require processing power. Most of the time the performance is much better than your average netbook. As for the price, well, it's exactly the same as an iPad ($599 for 32GB, $699 for 64 GB) and much higher performance. You really can't compare it to a netbook... yeah, it's an N450 but the overall specs are far better than your typical $300 netbook: SSD versus 5400 RPM hard drive, 1368x768 11.7 inch touchscreen vs. 1024x600 10.1" nontouchscreen, 2MB RAM vs. 1MB RAM, Crystal HD vs. no hardware video acceleration. You get what you pay for.

Windows based touch screen devices are jokes.
