It does not come with a battery, and is pretty darn heavy (just got mine yesterday)--it's not meant to be portable at all.

It does not mention a battery in the features list so my guess is no. If you want portable touch screen, look at "slate" PC's. If you are thinking of using it in the car get an inverter.

My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there. I only use it for writing books. I haven't done anything to it other than put in a new battery (pain in the backside) so it is running the original VISTA operating system and Windows Office '07. ASUS doesn't make these computers anymore - nor do they have batteries for them. I had to order a battery from Taiwan and install myself using a video I found on YouTube. Since its memory is so small, I wouldn't think Windows 8 would fit on it. My recommendation, leave it well enough alone as ASUS won't be able to help if you ruin it. I love this little computer and will cry when it no longer works. There is nothing else its size on the market today. My ASUS Eee PC is 6 years old and is still hanging in there.

Nope, the batter cannot be taken out at all. Ultrabooks like this have the battery integrated with the motherboard. You can possibly ask the manufacturer about an upgrade, but it probably isn't easy requiring you to send it in for weeks.One option is the possibility of getting external power through usb batteries. These are fairly new devices which are useful to extend battery life.

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable. Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

I don't think it comes preloaded...mine did not have an SD Card. Different vendors offer Variations, power cords, sd cards, etc. even the different vendors on Amazon MAY be different. Don't be surprised by low prices as most only include the board. READ THE DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY and don't assume anything. As I tell others always consider what accessories are needed for the board to operate in your project. Do you have usb cables or sd cards laying around that you can use...if not factor that in. As far as the OS itself it wil run from the sd card and there are some good tutorials on where to get and load OS. I personally like vendor linksprite...feel feel to contact vendor ahead before ordering. I don't think it comes preloaded...mine did not have an SD Card.

Actually you might want to be very careful when buying a battery especially lithium-ions. I used to do this until the spare stopped working. For some odd reason having a spare lithium-ion is not advised. Sometimes your phone would just reject it. Secondly Some smartphones takes a while to boot up about a min or so to boot plus this is not convenient anyways as what if i am playing a game or playing a song. Using a mobile booster is the way to go. Just thought I throw this out. Also don't buy cheap knock offs as I mentioned your device might reject the cell.

The lithium ion comes with a charger and the battery has lasted through all fish cleanings to date. My husband loves it!

It came with a battery, but it was near the end of its lifespan and lasts only for one hour. Of course every unit's battery will be somewhat different. But to answer your main question - My u it came with a battery. Please remember that Microsoft is no longer supporting windows xp

It is hidden in the description - 18650 Battery. Search Amazon or eBay and you'll find them. They are a slightly wacky but very effective Li ion battery. Do some research and get a reasonable quality. Some of them claim high storage but I think they are all about the same.

Wow, that is a good question. I have not used any other battery besides the lithium rechargeable battery it comes with and I am not sufficiently "geeky" to feel confident advising you about this.

I have been waiting for this 12.1" tablet from Asus for months. I like everything about it--especially its larger viewable screen--except the battery. 3 hours is just unacceptable for me. I would buy it with both hands if their battery could last 5 hours.HP Slate 500, now available, has a smaller 8.9" viewable screen. Lenovo is coming out with a 10.1" tablet in the second quarter. Another option would be Motion Computing's CL900, also with a 10.1" screen and available in the second quarter, but it is the most expensive of all: it doesn't come with the accessories that the HP Slate comes with for instance.

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

I would like to know myself..When my battery arrived it wasn't even charged...Charged it for over 24 hours before my screen would even come up, so I could log on! Then the battery went dead again! If I have to keep charging it for 24 hours, each time I need to use my laptop, my only alternative is to send it bk, request a refund and purchase from the store I bought from, before this! This product is anything but Superior Choice!!

No man, it doesn't have an internal battery sadly. By portable they just mean self contained. Its quite heavy though. Slightly awkward to lug around. Great speakers though. Definitely worth the price tag IMO. You will need a 110v power source to operate them at all times though. You can run it on a car battery with the 12v adapter. Gotta leave the vehicle running though or it'll drain it fast.

I think the best idea is to search on Amazon or on Google or some other search engine. Be sure to use the exact brand, product number and relevant description of the Lithium Ion battery. Pays to shop around and check the shipping costs and taxes off web now in place.

As I understand this type of batterires Lithium-Ion can be charge at any time without any damage because they don´t have memory efect, mine Works perfect and I charge it whenever I want
