I did not notice any mention of battery life. I've had a couple of laptops and the battery was the weak link. Seem to recall the battery dieing within a year or a year and a half. Have the batteries gotten any better?

The acer revo is about 300-350 at new egg with a Dual core Atom and
2gb of ram, it runs Ubuntu like a champ and has built in wireless low
heat and low power even comes with the Nvidia ION chipset/gpu. and
comes with a mount to attach it to the back of your monitor to the
VESA mounting holes (comes with a cheap little wireless keyboard/mouse
with dongle) but they are decent little machines and very zippy (even
running Win7 or ubuntu)
