    what is the actuall battery life time you get on the laptop? the review on notbookreview.com doesnt specify that clearly (just estimated). I would like to know the maximum battery life with wifi-on, browsing the web constantly while listening to music and maybe some chatting.

    and the hdd of only 4200rpm. is it noticable? does windows boot up slower than other laptops and does it effekt the start of programs or file transfering?

    about the screen with 1440x900, can someone post an image what is actually looks like? is the glossy screen bothering, and are the texts too small to view with 1440x900 resoluation?

    Can it play games like half-life 2, sim city 4, oblivion?

    i haven't used the battery yet, but it says 4 hour battery-life on the manual. 4200rpm is the weakest point of this baby; i.e. compared to 2.5" and 3.5" external hdds, winraring takes forever, especially with respect to 7200rpm ones. mine has 512mb ram, so i need to upgrade to 1.5gb ram to avoid extensive page file usage. boot time depends on the number of start up programs; but i boot it once a week on average, so it's not a problem at all. you may try hibernate function if boot time is too much for you. i haven't tried it yet, but i will install vista and activate readyboost with a fast usb stick. guess that will fire up some performance. long story in short, if you need hdd performance, try another model or get an external hdd as well.

    for the screen, i'm too lazy to take a screenshot now, but all i can say is that the screen is awesome. you may find the font size a little bit tiny, other than that image quality is excellent both in video and games. talking about games; forget about massive gpu demanding action/adventure games. you can practically play every strategy game to date (there may be some exceptions, but i haven't encounter one yet). i haven't tried hl2, but i'm sure it would run smoothly.

    To sum up, t1 offers great mobility, not a desktop replacement, but surely does its job.
