If you work from a laptop frequently, as many web workers do, you probably know the frustration of not getting all day battery life. The battery manufacturers and fuel cell community have been claiming for years that they’ll deliver all day power, but a lot of this has proven to be just talk.

Die zwei Screens sind um 17% größer und haben jetzt eine Diagonale von 3.25". Eine Kamera (640x480) sowie "audio enhancements" lassen auf neue Einsatzmöglichkeiten oder Spielesteuerungen schließen.
