The ExoPC looks like a pretty good tablet, if one wants a full desktop OS. But, the 5 hour (and usually companies over state battery life) would be an issue for many. But, as a basic laptop replacement, it would work. As a matter of fact if I were looking for a Windows netbook, I would for sure look at the ExoPC instead..... pretty cool...
I have a little Gateway netbook, with Win 7 Starter, and the latest low current Atom processor. They claim battery life of 8 hours.... If you have the wind to your back, and going downhill.... maybe 6. The most I ever got was about 5.5, but I am sure with all the radios off and screen brightness way down you could get more....
The iPad is actually the first mobile device I have ever owned where it gets the battery life the manufacture claims. If you cut WIFI, Bluetooth, and Notifications off, and put the screen brightness down, you can get way OVER the 10 hours claimed. There are folks on the forums claiming 14 and 15 hours....... That is a huge deal for a mobile device.
