Hey Lisa,

I didn't want to start another thread about the Twist, so I figured I'd ask my question here.

The convertible ultra-book class of laptops is exactly what I'm looking for. Don't intend to use it for gaming or anything graphically intensive, only basic productivity stuff and perhaps some programming. I was curious about two things:

1. How severe is the battery life problem with the Twist? I've been hearing a variety of testimonies, some claiming their battery life is as low as 2 hrs on a charge. If this is true, would this even be a usable laptop 1 or 2 years down the road after continued use?

2. Difference in speed between the i5 and the i7 isn't as noticeable as between the i3 & i5? Just wanted to confirm this statement you made in your review, don't want to end up purchasing an i3 and being disappointed.

Thanks for all your help!
