The battery dying painfully meant... system will coldly shut down, and will have a 1-2 second delay to startup after I had pushed the power button. Doesn't matter that much, though, since it boots into XP in less than 5 seconds.

Did a BIOS update a while ago, and almost 30 minutes of sitting here, chatting with you guys won't even get it down to 90%. I smell 4h+ of web browsing and Photoshop goodness now... I have since then removed the fan in the thing, and maybe that helped.

Jee... I really ought to do a quick review of this thing. Portable web browsing and portable Photoshop machine for $360 and with over 2 hours of battery just pwns. Seriously.

P.S.: Oh yeah, and I should mention that even at stock speed (630MHz?), you can still run Project64 and play most games quite nicely. Needless to say, any emulator up to GBA, and maybe up to some NDS emulations as well, will run quite nicely. I have only tried a few out, but so far, it's two thumbs up.
