should look for deals on what now becomes an "older" generation of Centrino (Sonoma) systems. Even the "good old" Pentium M (Dothan) is still a good, relatively energy efficient mobile CPU that can satisfy business computing needs quite nicely. Whoops! We nearly...

the CPU in a notebook works more efficiently, thus conserving more power than other DVD software. There's no obvious explanation why playing back a video direct from the hard disk isn't more energy efficient than conventional playback from an optical drive....

to Core Duo CPUs that feature faster front side bus speeds and a maximum of two CPU cores, Calistoga also supports nominally faster and more energy efficient DDR2-667 memory for use in laptops. Slower and less energy efficient DDR modules won't work with this...

get yourself a software player and then try to listen to it on the Psion's tiny speaker, which in itself is another problem I'll be addressing later. Fortunately we have a reasonable array of powerful and energy efficient processors to chose from nowadays....
