It's a perfect device for remotely-controlled network tests, like packet capture or any telnet/snmp/SIP/perlscript testing scenarios that you like.
(...)
My Experience is that notebooks are not realy useful for packet sniffing...as more an more Gibabit is common and laptops are no a recommended option to measure data transmission.
Especialy when capture filters will be used...
Also the available disc space is very limited...
I prefer older server infrastructure, that is able to run captures from several points with 2-4 or more NIC's in a ringbuffer configuration...
Cheers Martin

You are right in the sense that the right tool should be used for the right job :)
Of course it's not suitable for high-bandwidth sniffing, although quite useful for the occasions where you don't have high-volume traffic. For example, I use one such notebook for an IP-telephony deployment near the border controllers. As it's not yet in production, I know exactly how much traffic I'm going to have.
The benefit is that I easily bring this notebook to the customer location, and it doesn't need much (rack)space. Also I don't have to ask the customer to provide new PC hardware.

I looked up 255E-13DQws specs on Acer web site, and it says 6-cell.
I bought previously a slightly different model at Interdiscount for
CHF299.-, and it had 6 cells.
I'll have a closer look when I pass by the M-Electronics shop next time.
