Anyone running a Vaio with the intel centrino 1.4? If so..any issues with this laptop while recording? Specifically..I will be running a UA-5(at least for a while).
Second..the battery is supposed to last for 5-6 hrs..however, I KNOW it won't while im recording the whole time...so I was thinking about small batteries(rc possibly?) here is the specs for the power....can a small battery be made?
68 watts maximum +10% (16V / AC100-240V), Energy Star(SM) compliant, Advanced power management - APM-ACPI compatible
should i post this in the power place...its actually two different questions in the same post...should i have split? if so..sorry

i think this is a reasonable place for both ?'s, since basically both are applicable to computer recording
im not sure on the battery situation, my charger( sony vaio picturebook c1vp) is 16v, but the battery is 11.1...
i know that when i hook a 12v external power source up though a hacked power plug, it thinks it is "charging" but in all actuality it just extends my battery life somewhat. it never actually raised the batterys charged %, even during setbreak when it wasnt recording.
i would really like to know if i could take the 12v pack i have and wire it up with some other pack to make a ~16v input so it would actually charge the battery while in use
edit: im running a vaio with a 667 crusoe, so im sure that centrino 1.4 would have more than enough nuts to do anything you wanted 8)
