My Asus N80 Has a 9.5 hour Battery

Sounds like a nice addition to an already wide range of netbooks. I could be wrong but nine hours on a standard spec Atom netbook with a 160GB mechanical sounds a bit optimistic. I've managed to squeeze just over 8 hours with my Samsung NC10 with minimum brightness, wifi, speedstep and no hibernation (i.e.- it discharged to 0% and just switched off), which is also powered by a 6 cell battery.

Well thanks to the hybrid engine on powersaving mode ( nothing changes just clock speed )

and everything still works fine I get 9:15 mins of Batt life. It even says on the sticker thing I threw away One day computing 9.5 Battery Life.
