Maxing battery life?

bledd · 18 Jun 2009 at 15:55

i wouldn't know..

the D600 is a far lower spec..

Pentium M 1.6, 1gb ram ddr1

something like a PSP has great battery life, for watching films on too

but disabling things like indexing and antivirus will give you longer battery life

You know what you should have done before you booked your flight is check the plane has power at each seat

Also ask if there's a weight limit on hand luggage, that way you could being a huge 120Ah transit van battery and hook that up the lappy!

Only Singapore Airlines has power at each seat in economy. When I booked my tickets, SIA were £1000. Now they are £400

I know it's not as good as a lappy, and has limited choice, prone to interruption etc, but you could try just watching the in-flight movies. Seems a lot less less hassle to me. Plus don't forget that in Economy if you've got a seat in front of you and they lean back, that leaves you VERY little room to sit a laptop while still keeping the screen at a viewable angle, unless maybe you stick it on the floor or something.

I may be wrong but I recently flew to Australia and if you've got someone fully reclined in front, and a laptop on your lap, it seems to me that the screen would be have to be pretty much perpendicular to the angle of their seat to get an optimal viewing angle (obviously depends a bit on the panel), raising questions about whether it would fit.

And that is why I love my Samsung NC10, it's small enough to not cause problems in such situations, but unlike the Asus 701 I had before, big enough to actually use properly.
