I well do them Neo CPU's perform? Haven't read up on them actually.

Anyway, would rather see an SSD in there. 6 hours on a standard battery is pretty neat though.

Was reviewed at Engadget. The title should be changed to "...Laptop with Not So Long Battery Life"

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
"battery lasted for 3 hours and 35 minutes on our video rundown test, which loops the same standard definition movie with brightness adjusted to 65 percent. In normal usage – surfing the web and listening to music – we got close to four hours and 15 minutes of endurance"
"still not great for any ultraportable laptop"
