- Check how they implemented the power management on
- the notebook before buying it. If they use the BIOS
- and custom (DOS) software, you are out of luck unless
- they give you enough technical info (which is rare).

- My Compaq LTE seems to use dedicated hardware. Even
- while running Linux, hotkey combinations to change
- the clock speed and pop up little windows keep working.
- I can suspend and restart the system anytime. Only
- little problem is that Linux complains about unexpected
- HD interrupts when the HD starts spinning again.
