Scott has taken delivery of a 1200mAh battery for his EEEpc. You can’t argue that it’s not big and chunky and has lifted the weight of his machine by about half a pound. The good news is that Scott’s purchase only cost him $US62. Read his review to see where he got it. He hasn’t had it long enough to gauge how much extra screen time he’ll get for his efforts.

On an unrelated note, finger prints show up really well on the glossy black screen back of the EEE, it makes me think white could be the preferred color.

Liliputing has posted this picture of the box label for an Asus EEEpc 901 with 8700mAh battery. Estimated battery life is a potential seven hours, sounds like netbooking heaven to me.

Blogger State Your Purpose has written a review of his New ASUS EEEpc 1000H. Being a bit of a geek, as soon as he unpacked it was upgrade time. He upgraded to the maximum 2GB and swapped out the 160GB Hard Drive for the 250Gb HDD he had in his Lenovo laptop.

After he’d played with the hardware, he messed around a little to install Vista Ultimate for what he states was “better battery options”. I’m a Vista hater so I won’t make any comments, His install went pretty well with the only issue being the external volume controls not working, but it looks like there is a fix for it when he has the time.

Overall State Your Purpose seems happy with his 1000H purchase and is reporting 3 to 3.5 hours of normal use battery life out of his set up.
