That's a good deal for TMTA. I really think DVD's are a killer app for laptops. I am going to guess that one doesn't get much of a battery advantage playing DVDs on a Transmeta chip. When playing a DVD the processor, DRAM, video card RAM, CD-ROM drive, and LCD (probably the HD to some extent, too) are all going full bore. The CPU is only part of the equation. The comment in the article stating that a Transmeta portable "offers up to 8 hours of battery life" is far removed from the DVD paragraph. Maybe you get enough to watch Titantic or something. Just to keep a balance, I ran across this negative Transmeta story today (whith pretty much touches all the points previously belabored): upside.com Regards, Steve
