The issue is with the screen and not really with = the processor. With newer throttling CPUs you can achieve a variable power consumption based on load. The screen, on the other hand, is always = drawing power if you are looking at it or not. =20 How do you like the performance of a full color transflective? We are getting mixed reviews on our end. Also, you can get ANY run time you want with the right battery solution. = My point is that, out of the box, it is very difficult to find an 8h = Minimum runtime laptop. Most are sitting at 3-5h. -Tony -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
