I fully agree with you.
I feel the need for a bigger internal battery too.
IMHO a netbook should run at least 8/10 hours with internal battery.
It's meant to be portable after all.
I seem to remember from previous emails that a bigger battery was not
supported by the current bios or something like that.
What changes are needed to support it?
