The stock 2400 doesn't get as hot as that, it only gets HOT when a G3 upgrade is applied to the unit. A Vimage 320 does not get hot at all, it actually runs cooler than the original CPU. Battery life goes down when a G3 unit is installed, with the exception of the Vimage 320. Running a RAM disk solves this problem... Right now my 2400c (stock except for 112MB RAM) gets over 1.5 hours from the original battery. New batteries for the 2400 will be coming next month, from BTI. At least that is what I have read in several areas of the Web. >Message #: 17 >Date: Sat, 25 Sep 99 11:07:01 -0700 >From: blairfisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: 2400 or iBook? > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>But the short battery life was a bigger deal......I like the idea of a >>computer I can use for a more extended period of time, and the heat + >>battery life issue made it so I could never use my 2400 for an extended >>period of time. > >Thanks Justin, I guess the other 2400 problem to be aware of is the >problem getting new batteries.
