Hello thomas,, What rosemary and I mean is that on our other notetakers, if there's no activities for at least five minutes, the display would go to suspend mode. It would shut down to preserve battery life. the PK doesn't do that. It just remains active until you hold down c4 for three seconds. Yes, I go about a week or more before I charge the unit, but remember, I need to make heavy usage of the display and that uses more power quicker. Isaac
