But, seriously, laptop bags can cause all sorts of shoulder problems if
you're not careful. Thing is, you don't notice them at the time - you
only notice there's a problem when you get in the car the following
morning and find it's a painful stretch to the gearstick.

Agreed, what's the point in buying a laptop with a decent CPU, then turning it down to prehistoric power... Because, in reality, you don't need 2GHz of Core Duo power 99.9% of the time. Much better to throttle back for better battery life / energy efficiency. Why did you buy a grossly overpowered computer in the first place then? |
daylight) doing general MSN, P2P and web browsy stuff, my Macbook gives
me just over 5:30 runtime on battery, which I reckon is pretty effin
impressive - it's is vastly more than any other laptop I've ever used.
If I can extend that by a couple of hours and give my battery a few more
months life at the cost of using 6% of processor capacity instead of 3%,
then why not? I can always speed it up again if I want to..

Let's put it this way - I haven't noticed any significant slowdown in performance even though I've cut CPU speed by half. I'm gonna run my car on 2 cylinders to see if I can tell the difference. Cool. Although I reckon I better analogy might be to drive something |
difference - you might, but it's still pretty sweet :-)
