was anyone really that worried about having to replace a permanently dead battery? the main benefit of an easily swappable battery that doesn't require tools is the ability to carry multiple charged batteries on long flights or whatever. battery 1 goes dead, you just hibernate the machine, swap out the battery with a second one (which takes 10 seconds on any normal laptop), and resume working.
Damn. If that's not an exaggeration, you have something wrong. I have 2gb of RAM (Home premium, Lenovo X60) and both operations take something like 30 seconds. I haven't clocked it, but it's nowhere near 9 minutes.
Mines a Fujitsu lifebook, AMD dual core and yes 3 gig of ram. I've run it with linux for a while but needed vista for work. Yes, I do think there's something wrong. It takes about 90 seconds to get to hibernate, but always more than 5 minutes to become useable again after wakeup. Any advice? People tell me my macbook would make a much better vista computer with bootcamp. Anyone have any experience with this?
