    OK, I bought the 751 for the battery life and here's today's experience.

    Got to work at 6.30am, turned the 751 on at 7.30am, unit went into hibernate at 10% battery at 2.30pm.

    That's 7 hours with the unit on and screen on constantly. WiFi on all day and bluetooth on for the first 2 hours.

    I also charged my HTC windows mobile phone off the USB from dead battery to full charge.

    I have Windows 7 with all the eye candy on including slideshow desktop and gadgets. It is also set to performance mode.

    I'm frickin impressed... :D

    Yea, my 3 cell lasts 2.5 to 3 hours max - got a 6 cell on its way for £32 off eBay.

    Can you post your observations once you've tested it, I've seen them on Ebay and considered buying one, just not sure of the quality.
