With the starting battery power of 90 %, I started to activate the Wireless function, and let it detects any available hotspot around.
For your info, I brought this lappie on some food-court locating in some Mall in southern Jakarta. This is the place I know for sure where I can get the hotspot (not free though) while having some lunch without being disturbed.

Several seconds in waiting, then it shows some available hotspots with their status. Since I'm also a member of CBN, the local ISP, I picked the CBN hotspot with 100% connection level.
Connection established, then it goes to login-password page from CBN which required us to fill-in. From that, it opened the first page, which is the asus eeepc welcome menu.
Now we can really start surfing.
The speed-test website was the first page that I really want to test for it's wifi speed. The result was shown in the picture below. 148 kbps for download and 125 kbps for uploading. Not much for a frequent broadband mobiler, you will say. But when surfing is started, I must say it's fair enough to see some sites without delays that often found on local regular dial-up connection (max upto 56 kbps, but almost never reached out).

My two others website that I checked was Yahoo Mail and my own blog (g4bl.blogspot.com). They are opened without hassle and the pictures and layout/format was shown as is, just like I browse it from regular notebook or desktop PC.
It was about 20-30 minutes of surfing, when I realized the battery power was dropped down from 90 % (where I started) to 70 %. So it is about 20 % power losing for that max 30 minutes of surfing. Multiply by 5, then technically I will get maximum upto 150 minutes or 2.5 hours of happy browsing before the UMPC start screaming for recharging.
For wireless browsing, in overall I must say, I am quite happy with the wireless capability of eeePC. Surely any improvement would be worth to wait. On the next post, I will summarize what I feel about the Plus and Limitation (I won't see any minus here) of the Asus eeePC. Stay tune then !
