Dear Andy:
I don't know the answer to your question concerning the larger battery,
but I will jump on the H. P. site and try and find the answer.
I have been reading some news blips that say that new chips are in the
pipeline which will use less energy and produce less heat, so hopefully, we
will see laptops in the near future which will meet the lighter and longer
standard.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Hi Clifford,
Well, there are many units that are lighter, and with longer battery
life, but, obviously, they would be smaller, and not have the full
keyboard. I guess that the system would have to have a large screen to
provide the width necessary for the full keyboard. I have looked long
and hard at laptops, and it appears that the only ones that have the
full keyboard are the ones with the larger screens, thus making them
bigger and heavier, and I would imagine that powering that large screen
is what sucks the life out of the battery. Does your HP give you the
option of using a larger battery? The 9 cell Lithium Ion batteries can
double charge life.
Andy

Dear Bryan:
I am afraid I lack sufficient knowledge in this area to answer your
question. My ZD 8000 will only give one hour's use on battery, and
even then the screen and other features are degraded to save energy.
It does work well as a desk-top, as it is relatively quiet and the
screen, according to the sighted folks who have used it, is really nice.
I bought this unit specifically because it has the numeric keypad,
as I could never become accustom to the standard keyboard on the Toshiba
Satellite which I owned previously. I have not been disappointed at all
with the keyboard. I have been considering purchasing another computer
for the office, and a similar lap-top would be ideal, but I would prefer
a lighter unit with longer battery life, when and if one becomes
available.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Hi,
the hp nx9600 is similar to your model, both with the num pad and short
battery life.
is there any chance of extending battery life with installing a lower
speed
centrino chip?
