[Tuxaloosa] Meeting Tonight (20090312)

[E Hanson]

you're right, it is 120G.

actual model is AOA 150-1679 model ZG5
http://us.acer.com/acer/product.do?link=oln24g.redirect&changedAlts=&kcond5e.c2att92=843&CRC=2745306029

i've had it up on battery only (including boot) for 2 hours now and it's 
pretty low, so i'd say that it's a 3 cell.

I'm seeing some mention of guys getting just over 2 hours with the 3 cell, after tweaking OpenSUSE 11.1 a bit.  That would be comparable to what I get with my 15.4" Dell Latitude, before I put in the media bay battery.
