Re: suggestions for a 64 bit laptop?
On the battery life:
On the emachines, if you don't have CPU frequency and power management
turned on, you get about 2 hours. If you run the machine flat out,
doing heavy numeric computation without any pause or let up, 90 minutes.
However, in normal use under Debian with freq/power mgmt, I get 3 hours.
Since these numbers are due to chipset, I suspect they're generic.

Hello, I am a happy pure64 user on the desktop, and I would like
to get a 64 bit laptop/desktop replacement as well. However, it looks like
the models with large displays (15", more than 1280x1024) are only
available with Intel 32 bit cpus (e.g. Dell), and vice versa. Any
suggestions for a good Athlon64 laptop with a large display? Possibly one
which is _known_ to work well with pure64?
I've had my Acer Aspire 1524WLMi just three weeks and it's just about
fully configured (for me anyway) - I haven't tried the modem or
wireless.
Downsides: shortish battery life c.2hrs which doesn't bother me 'cos
it's more of a portable workstation (of awesome power) than a road
warrior's laptop.
On balance, I think it's a brilliant piece of kit ;)
