Just a suggestion: Never buy Gateway. Commonly known problems: power connector (in the back) will stop working within a year, several other problems and worst part is HORRIBLE customer service.

isn't a netbook supposed to have 6+ hours of battery juice?

for 3 hours, $230 is pretty expensive.

3 cell , 6 cell, 12 cell some 13 cells out there too. All these numbers just mean how well the battery is suppose to hold up in hours. But in real time it's going to be less. 12 cell are really some heavy batteries to lug around with you. You can get more hours out of the battery by reducing the HDD spin and tweak down the blacklight. Intel and AMD used to cut the CPU speed to 1/2 to 1/4 the rated speed in GHz to MHz.
