- Clarification from a DUO-in-law (ie my wife has a 210, but my 230 is on
- "6-8 week" back-order):
-
-
- It is true that, as with the previous powerbooks, the external battery
- charger does not come with its own ac adapter.
-
-
- However, with the 100/140/145/160/170/180 this was a real limitation, as
- you could not simultaneously use the one AC adapter both with the
- powerbook and the external charger. In contrast, with the DUO's
- the charger attaches to the AC adapter in such a way that you can
- still have the DUO attached and working.
-
- I gather that the setup is designed so that the DUO and its battery get
- priority access to energy, the charger is secondary.
