benjgvps, I've yet to purchase a battery as the 2.5hours mine goes for suites me just fine. The guys at the Aspire One user forum have tested almost all of the, and I'm completely sure you could find the most recommended one there.

slimac55, while the Aspire One does come with some crapware, it's hardly anything worth complaining about. If I remember right I had three or four things, stuff like google desktop, intervideo dvd player, and something else. I run XPpro on mine with none of that crap installed, and I get to a usable desktop in around 30 seconds, which is, in my book, pretty good.

All in all, what comes on a computer when you buy it is an absolutely atrocious way to judge how "good" the machine is, build quality, reliability, and how well it suits the buyers needs are far more important. Crapware can always be removed, in one way or another.

EDIT - BTW, I just gave notebook batteryinfo a spin, and man oh man is that a fantastic piece of software!
