- Hi-
-
- Does anyone know how long the charge lasts on a powerbook? I'm especially
- interested in the absolute best case, with the screen light turned off,
- CPU power management on, and disk spun down? I am thinking of the case
- where I would be travelling and typing notes into something like
- WordPerfect with lots of pauses between paragraphs.
-
- The time given for the Powerbook Duo 230 was 2.5-4 hours, but is the 4
- hour time with or without the screen on?
-
- Thanks,
- -Avery Wang
