Christopher, the Laptop in question, will be used mainly from the mains
power supply.
Will this use be all right?.

Yes, it is, unfortunately. Wireless will drain the battery more than using an ethernet cable. The reason being that the laptop has to use the power that's in the battery to not only power the laptop itself but also to external/internal devices. For example, if you plugged a wireless card in, the laptop would have to power the wireless card in order for you to use it. So that's why the battery power will run down quicker using wireless. Hope that helps. On Mon, 2 Oct 2006 10:47:11 +0100, "TrueBlue" <billy72@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said:hi guys, surely this can't be true. I have been told from people on other mailing lists, that if yu connect yur laptop wirelessly to the Internet, it will run down the Laptops battery, quicker than using a ethernet cable. Can this be really true?. Also on the same list, the suggestion is that it is a bad Idea to run the Laptop VIA the power adaptor. Finally, is it better to purchase an external Laptop keyboard?.
