Indeed that's what I meant. > Actually the HP starts at $500, vs $350-400 for a 4Gb eee, so that's > less than a 50% premium (but you get more than 50% more pixels on the > screen! ;)) Well, yeah, but the Eee really starts with a 2Gb model. The fact that you have to move up the Eee offering to find something more comparable with the starting HP offering is kind of my point. > But yeah, I think it's aiming just one notch higher one the > weight/performance curve than the eee. I can't imagine but that it runs significantly hotter, too. > According to the reviews, the optional 6 cell battery gets you 4 hours - > there isn't a larger battery option at all on the eee, so I would count > that as improved battery life... Ah. Ok, I was under the impression that it was a 5 cell battery with 3.5 official hours of battery life when you pay a premium, and since Rob has mention he gets 3 practical hours of use on his Eee... But of course, HAVING the option is definitely a plus. > Vern Simón _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org
