Coming from the Land of the Lawsuit I would imagine Amazon doesn't want any problems being sued by someone who missed some important date etc because the battery ran out after 7 hours. My Asus EEE says it lasts 10 hours and it does, but not if I am playing games or doing something using a lot of computer power (about 8 hours average). Probably a good idea to allow for a 20% reduction in claimed power. I'll probably still buy the Asus transformer because we have 2 EEEs at home and they are rugged and reliable.
