I made it through a whole day today on a single charge browsing the internet, streaming video, brightness at 50%, and fan on high. Yes it can. I did it from my Google Voice/Hangouts, but make sure you are wearing headphones as the microphone is close to the speaker, otherwise it'll echo like crazy. Pricey? Could be worse, my friend. XD The sound chip does not work under Arch or Xubuntu, unfortunately. Hopefully there will be a breakthrough soon. This reply was typed on my GPD WIN It does take some getting used to, but it isn't bad at all.
