Hi George, Hardly an issue nowadays with 6 and 9 cell batteries. My Samsung N120 comes with a six cell battery and I get six hours out of it with Wifi turned on. Eight if I turn it off. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: Wednesday 9 December 2009 21:57 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Scanners and Netbooks Please do not forget that power is supplied to this scanner via the USB port, and so will reduce the battery life of your netbook or laptop.

That sounds exactly what we're looking for. I have located the scanner on play.com. Were you responsible for the comprehensive review of it on the web site?

I use Cano Scan Lide200 which is the current range topping model, I tend to upgrade them after a couple of years because the newer models have advanced power management capability, scan slightly faster and have the option to scan at higher resolutions which means magazines and other glossy publications especially those with photos scan better. Either way, your looking at a spend of under £70. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caroline Ford" <caroline@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 4:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Scanners and Netbooks > Thank you all for the replies.
