Next message: Frank Burrows: "Re: lv-ab: Which computer?"
I don't understand how that could be.
The one I just bought -- Toshiba M45-S355, comes with
a 75 Watt AC adapter, which not only runs the computer
with everything operating, but also charges the
battery at the same time. You get almost 5 hours of
battery life out of it, depending on how you are using
it. DVD and wifi take more power.
Even their Pentium-4 based laptops only have 120 Watt
power supplies.
