Hardware, Embedded Systems Asus has formally rolled out its Eee PC line of sub-notebook computers, a week after UK supplier RM - formerly Research Machines - spilled the beans on two of the models. The complete line-up comprises four computers. All four models are based around the same 7in display; 900MHz Intel Celeron processor and chipset; 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi for internet access; HD audio; three USB ports; SD card slot; stereo speakers and microphone input; and a version of the Linux open source operating system, Xandros. My take: I want one. It has everything I need: small size, Linux, wireless, and email client/browser/IM. I don't need more from a laptop.

The wikipedia article of the asus Eee PC, describes the 4 laptop configurations(dunno how accurate).
The 'Eee PC 4G (701)' has about "Battery: 4-cell, 5200 mAh: ~3.5 hrs" .
Which I suppose will be less when actively being used ;)

ah, forget the wikipedia article.
http://eeepc.asus.com/en/product.htm
shows suddenly much more information ;)
