MOBILE POWER: Behold, the 24-Hour Laptop

Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself, but Intel's upcoming CPUs bode well for my mobility dream coming true: Untethered for a full day; unworried about where I'll have to plug in my laptop after 4-6 hours, ahhhhh....mobile nirvana. Okay, maybe I exaggerate a bit here, you can check out eWeek's take with the link below.



Uncle Bill has been pushing HW vendors this direction, focusing particularly on his TabletPCs, but we all know that the key is in the processor (just remember what the Pentium M class achieved). I'm tired of jockeying for position at the coffee shop, just to score that coveted AC outlet, maybe Bill is too. Now, whether your a fan of TabletPCs, or laptops, imagine how workflow might change if you knew you didn't have to find a plug in until you were ready to sleep? I have my AC adapter for my cell phone next to the bed, maybe I'll have to make room for my laptop on the nightstand soon.



Be still, my beating heart, 2006 is on the way.
