What kind of battery life do you get when using a solid state disk?
How sturdy is it? I've seen thin and lights from some manufactures that felt kinda flimsy due to the thinner chassis.
Any plans to offer a smaller and cheaper ssd? A 32GB drive would suit my needs just fine.
Thanks.

We don't really test battery life with an SSD. I think it's about 4 hours, though. I'll ask the R&D guy when he gets here and post back if I'm wrong.

It's a little difficult to quantify the sturdiness, but it is definitely quality. Not flimsy at all.

No plans right now for a 32GB SSD.

Ah! A great suggestion that I second!

Has anyone purchased a Lemur yet? Can anyone offer their review, reaction, or response to the system?

OK. Confirmed. The battery is good for about 4+ hours, depending on usage of course.

I see, I was hoping that a ssd would help squeeze out a little more battery life. Some of them are very power efficient.

A smaller ssd option would be nice. I store most of my files on my desktop, so my laptop drive really only needs to hold the software I use. I suppose I could pick one up from Newegg, and put it in myself.

Can't wait to see the reviews on this thing.

Why doesn't the Lemur have an anti-glare screen? These glossy screens are awful. I wish the industry hadn't gone away from matte screens.
