Thanks so much - given that they're on special at JB-Hifi now at just under $300 I decided I'd take the plunge and pick one up, I suspect you'll be right about the speed with Haswell Celeron vs the N2830 Silvermont but I won't know for sure until it's finished charging and I fire it up. That said it is just $300.. ;-)

Impressed so far, powertop (running in the Kubuntu chroot I've installed) says: The battery reports a discharge rate of 2.50 W The estimated remaining time is 12 hours, 25 minutes ...and that's after an hour or so of use. Only 7-8GB free on the SSD now, but that's plenty for me. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
