I bought one in Hong Kong in December for $HK9900 (sorry don't 
have current conversion handy). I bought it for my kids to use.

It survived the trip down from HK to NZ in a briefcase without any 
problems, despite being a very light plastic case.

I find the batteries last about 1 hour with average use.

My biggest problem is that I seem to have a loose connection on 
the CMOS ram battery. I loose the setup in CMOS ram about once a 
week. I tried taking the thing apart to see if it was a loose 
joint, but access was poor, without stripping the whole thing 
down.

Overall, I like it. its a cheap Ltop, that goes well. I would love 
another one for work or me as my kids have taken it over :-(
