Thanks Andy, this is an excellent summary of the situation. Now that BrailleNote does a lot more, people's battery experiences will vary depending on how they use their machines. Someone who turns off the speech and uses the Braille display for word processing and book reading for example, with no microdrive connected, should get significantly better performance than someone listening to MP3 files.
The microdrives will drain a lot of battery life if left in because they are like a traditional hard drive in that they have moving parts.
