Just a quick update on my battery life this past week. With the wifi on,book loaded on e-ink,tablet screen brightness way down, watchdog and battery graph running. I mix reading,game playing,browsing and video watching pretty much all day with intermittent hibernation. Battery graph is giving me a range of 4-6% battery draw down an hour. Total time tracked - about 40 hrs. I do power down and recharge at night. So with what I have now I can go through my normal day with the PE and not run out of charge. I'm happy with this. Simply shutting the wifi when not needed, locking down the tablet screen when reading and turning the brightness are easy ways to reduce power consumption w/o having to edit system files.
I must say the PE has exceeded my expectations and has taken over many of the tasks I used my netbook
for and is much cooler and quieter.
