Looks like a very useful utility, no "downside" to it that I can see so far!

Do you use this, AdamB? I'd like to get your take/experience with it!
Not Adam, but I use it on my XP machines - for various reasons.
A series for cranking the thing down and for battery info(4 year old battery).

AR series so I can trick it into playing a blu-ray while on battery. ;)

Don't have it on this Vista machine... yet.

NHC is an extremely robust and powerful tool that a lot of people have been using. I certainly use it, and I would certainly recommend it if you're interested in using something low-level (if you want), but also readily easy to use. It's a great tool.

It's a great little tool. You have to select a setting to view all of the options because it has advanced tools you can use. The features I use it most for are to keep track of battery cycles and wears as well as keeping tabs on hard drive and cpu temperatures.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495206 Fri, 16 May 2008 19:30:00 EDT Re: notebook batteries http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20494488 PeteC2 :

For an 8 cell battery, I agree, sounds like far too little run time. Of course, a lot of it matters as to how/what you are running while under battery power. A lot of disk access will really cut down your run time.

If your Acer is low on ram, say around only 1gb, just adding ram will actually gain you a bit of run time, as you will cut down on hard disk access.
