Aspire S 3-951-6432 by Nathan-Mertick (Aug, 2010)The best feature of this laptop for me was the 8 hr battery life...now we all know that those suggested 8 hrs is basically when it is on and you're not doing anything on it, but I've actually gotten over 6 hours of battery life on it using word processor, watching movies, surfing internet etc.The web cam on it makes for very clear picture during skype or msn video conversations as well.
Aspire S 3-951-6432 by Altez (Jan, 2011)If I am not watching video and am not doing anything terribly CPU intensive, I can get 6-8 hours of battery life.
