If you plan to use IE8 (the built in browser), it may not work on some banking sites. I tried it on Wells Fargo's website and it didn't recognize the browser (hence not allowing me to enter the site).
Just an FYI in case you need to access a secure site and have problems.

Battery life is the same if not better for me as vista

Just installed on my old laptop but having quite a few issues with drivers not recognizing Windows 7 >_>
Edit:
Never mind, had to do them all manually.

It looks like you figured it out, but I also loaded Vista drivers when Windows 7 didn't recognize the device and it "appeared" to work.

Problems:
- cannot detect the wireless card on my laptop
- BSOD or freeze when I try and run any of the built-in games (eg. Solitaire, Hearts etc.)
