I have been using my notebook lately while on the move as an external battery for the tablet. Just plug the usb, put the laptop on suspend and you have 12 hours of decent performance ahead of you - so suspend is somewhat important for me right now. (8 hours in a bus is testing experience)
- jamii 13y agoOne of my favorite features on my current laptop is the USB port that is connected directly to the battery, so it charges even when the laptop is not turned on.
- pyre 13y agoWhat laptop is this? Is this an advertised feature or something that you only got information on in some obscure way (newsgroups, forums, etc vs. the official manual)?
- jamii 13y agoAlienware M11X R2. It's not really advertised, I just noticed the option in the bios one day - http://www.techmonsters.com/DellTraining/bin/Foundation2010/Portables_Foundation_2010/Alienware/M17x/M17X/usb_powershare.htm http://www.techmonsters.com/DellTraining/bin/Foundation2010/... . It's ridiculously useful when travelling - if I don't use my laptop I get an extra 2/3 days worth of battery for my phone.
