Bluetooth and bigger HD welcome improvements over the Medion Akoya they had for sale earlier this year. They also writes: “Li-ion battery with high performance” .. Arhhh … See IT is enough to take your mouth a little too full! The emphasis suggests that this is just a 3-cell battery on this machine. And it is clearly the biggest drawback to using it ..

I am “obviously” Eee PC fan – but the reason for choosing Medion Akoya offer of Asus Eee PC 901′eren should be screen size and possible. use too much hard disk space (which, however, is the unsustainable ordinary kind, rather than the shock-SSD model as most Asus Eee PC’s running with). An extra inch does not sound much, but look out more – so dependent on using the COULD be important. For mail, and Word is I do not care. Should I rather read a very, very much text on the train or correct a bit graphics (NOT design – that you must not fool yourself in that you can be on any of them), then I would like to have the extra inch to “get magnified image up “..
But the extra inch does so only 3-cell battery even more miserable, because the screen is a vicious bloodsucker. So my guess is that battery last for approx. An hour of concentrated use, while Asus Eee PC should keep 4-5 x as much time ..
