Steven Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 gimme the M Chip, more battery life, and 2LB less in weight. if they use the desktop they're heavier and suck up the batteries like water, on my P4M 1.6 i get 5Hours across 2batteries, its nice. sometimes 6 hours pending on what i am doing. Using a desktop CPU, however, generates more heat and quickly drains a battery. The NP 5240 lasted just 1 hour, 35 minutes. With an optional second battery in place, the Area-51m lasted 3 hours, 4 minutes. Devoted mobile users probably won't tolerate such compromises. For the best performance, price, and battery life, consider buying a 1.8-GHz P4-M unit. If you simply must have a model running at the fastest mobile speed, check out a 2-GHz P4-M notebook.
