Kudos to gnome (or just the state of the art) it went just about 4.5
hours. Actually, I didn't let it go dead, but gnome was down to
predicting only 10 minutes or so left, so I decided enough was
enough. I mean, I didn't want to have to REBOOT the thing! :)
the SDD versions of these things seem to be going out of favor with
manufacturers. Maybe the power efficiency gain isn't as much as I
would think? I don't know. But I do know that when the battery icon
turned red, the netbook had more time left to go than my ThinkPad does
on a full charge.
