Just as a suggestion, check out the Hitachi Visionbook Traveler at www.hitachipc.com, it is a little heavier, a little bigger, but has a TON more features for the same price. Nothing extra to buy. I bought one as the basis for my future wearable, and have been loving it even as a standard laptop. As a wearable, it fits into my jacket unnoticed and is light enough to carry around with me whereever I go. The web page claims 2.5 hours on the two 1200mwh batteries that come with it, and my field use has verified that nearly exactly. (Under heavy load -- constant mod file playing, 2 active shells, and usually a couple of compiles) They do offer 1600mwh batteries as an option, and the battery sockets have a removable plate so that you could load in even larger 3000mwh batteries if you can deal with them being taped into place. The P133mmx CPU is warm, but not uncomfortably so -- yet (note: I live in upstate new york where it is still 35 degrees F outside.) that may change during the summer. I wouldn't expect the P120 Libretto to be any better as heat goes. --friar
