Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E130 - €239 from Lenovo Outlet

Quaderno

I think this a good offer for a relatively current mid range subnotebook from Lenovo. Memory, hdd and likely cpu should be upgrade-able easily enough, but even as-is this thing would be much more powerful than the average netbook:

Second link has a lot of varying specs though - presumably for different in-model options...

I think the 2.5 hours in the first description can't be right. I found a review that cleary shows that this thing can do better:

"Power Consumption

Low power requirement always points to a good runtime, providing the manufacturer did not make cutbacks in battery capacity. This is fortunately not the case in view of 63 watt hours. The power consumption ranges between 7.5 watts in idle mode and 33 watts during high performance (3DMark 2006). A 3DMark 2006 needs 27 watts and is representative for games.
(...)
The 65 watt PSU is designed very generously for this power consumption. It recharges the battery completely in 2:41 hours even during maximum load.
(...)
Battery Runtime

The battery runtimes easily satisfy high demands. In cases where the Aspire V5-171 and the Travelmate B113-M exhibit weakness due to their 37 watt hour batteries (three hours), the much cheaper Edge E130 runs for six hours. We are talking about the Wi-Fi test using a brightness of 150 cd/m2 (slightly lowered), energy-saving mode and disabled Bluetooth. A script opens a website, some including video contents, every 40 seconds."

Anyway I ordered one yesterday and within an hour got a call from Digital River in Shannon confirming the order. If (according to the second document) this little machine can eventually be upgraded to an Ivy Bridge i7 with 16GB memory and an mSATA SSD next to the existing harddrive it will potentially serve here for many years to come

Problem is, fatcheese may the one's doing the forgetting right there.
