But I want a new one! One that has a battery life more than 10 minutes!

I'm also a little hesitant about going from my current 15" laptop to a 11" one, but after playing with one at Best Buy I think it'll be OK.
If it is just the battery not holding a charge why not just get an Asian knockoff battery replacement. My pre-millenium T20 is on it's 3rd aftermarket battery and still running 98SE.
