Tablet love at Darla Mack

Saying goodbye to the old flame (a gone-to-seed Thinkpad):
I'm sorry, so sorry. I know I have spent many hours with you, spent hundreds of dollars treating you to all the best money could buy. I have made sure you had everything you have needed in the years we have been together. I even loved you enough to load Linux instead of Windows.

I'm sorry, so sorry I do not spend as much time with you as I once did but I must be honest. I have found a new love. My new love is thinner, prettier and more fun....

I'm sorry, so sorry. I'm not trying to rub it in but this Nokia N810 does nearly everything I once needed you to do.

The Thinkpad is still helping there, my Powerbook 12" is helping someone else :(

I wrote this after having read the "Saying doogbye".
I felt pretty much the same way, ashamed but happy, and felt I should do the same for my beloved Mac :)

Actually it was written by Matthew Stevens, a guy who lives near me. ;)

Funny she (or "he" according to texrat, edit: now I see that it's actually signed by Matthew Stevens) complains about the 2 hours battery time of the thinkpad, since I don't get that much time out of my n800 (maybe the n810 has better power management/a bigger capacity battery).
Oh, and I don't get even an hour out of my thinkpad, so the tablet is definitely better wrt battery life.

I get at least 3 hours out of my N800. I almost never plug it in; I always run on batteries, and I use it constantly. I was on a jog for almost 3 hours today, listening to mp3s on my N800, and didn't run out of batteries.

50% more than a Thinkpad is a significant amount. 300% is even more, if you adopt the 1 hr vs 3 hours comparison, depending on how you use the statistics!

Hey, probably with such a light use I'd get more than 3 hours, but heavy browsing, claws and the built-in rss reader suck a lot of power.

Yes, in fact I said that the tablet is a lot better than the thinkpad (since I get less than an hour with the thinkpad), not only wrt battery life as I said before, but also the portability (though I sometimes miss my 1400x1050 screen, but not as much as I'd thought).

wifi is one nasty battery killer. and if what i read about 3G lately is what one can expect, its not much better. it seems wireless connectivity seems to be the real problem going forward...

Something's either wrong with your device, or you're measuring incorrectly. Not a single one of my (four) devices gets under 3 hours of in-use battery life, and they usually get over 5 with my typical use pattern.
