Hi –
When I travel with my standard issue Dell D600 (1.5GB RAM), I get maybe two hours out of a fully charged battery while doing standard Word, Excel, Outlook stuff. Throw in Visio or (ugh) Quickbooks and cut that time in half. Sometimes, I try to disable services that I know I will not need on the plane (does antivirus really need to autoprotect on the plane?), but I can’t tell you that this actually gives me any more battery. Any recommendations for battery-life extending tricks, tools, services to disable, etc? Greatly appreciated as I head across the country for the late December boogie.
