My wife has been using one for a couple of months. She finds it easy to take with her almost anywhere due to its small size and light weight. Battery life seems good, as would be expected from a machine with a small screen and a solid state drive, but I've never really asked her how long it actually goes on a single charge. To me it seems primarily well suited for e-mailing and web browsing on the road, but if that's all you need it sure beats hauling a full-size laptop around.
