    :confused:
    Apparently there is a faulty driver issue and when using a USB 2.0 device on a laptop with a Duo Core laptop, the battery life can be shortened by as much as one hour! I guess we'll see how this plays out.

    I just want to mention that I by no means have a problem with the new chip, I even have an Acer 8204 on pre-order so I hope that this gets resolved soon.
