I wasn't complaining, I was telling my (impressive) results. I've completely deactivated any form of power management for the battery-sucking test (the test where all available hardware was turned on), so I didn't use dim, nor did I use suspend (I called it standby). There's no way I could test how long the suspendtime is, because I don't want to spend some days without playing with the neo :) But it's not hard for me to believe the 100+ hours you're talking about. Again: The batterylife is not only promising, it's already pretty good, and it can still get better! FYI: I used ASU for the tests, but that shouldn't matter at all.
