In case you are considering dual-booting this with windows, i'll
share my experience there.  We bought a bunch of these to deploy
with vista.

The battery life was total crap, something like 75 minutes running
a low load (email, browser, wlan).

To make matters worse, lenovo didn't (maybe still doesn't) have a full
complement of XP drivers available.

I think this overall was a good thing since it was the straw that
broke the camel's back and we're switching to Macs.  But since this
is a lug not a mug i'll shut up about that.  ;)
