Who uses UAE on a notebook?
« on: March 12, 2005, 12:24:58 AM »
I have to admit, one of the main reasons I recently bought a PC laptop is so that I can have a portable Amiga OS. I'm setting up WinUAE as I type.

How many here use WinUAE (or MaxUAE, etc) on a portable machine?

What was your setup? I've got a Compaq Presario 2200 series with a Celeron M processor, running WinUAE with WB 3.1.

How long did your cells last (starting from a full charge)?

After using WinUAE on my notebook for about two months, I have realized that since it takes over 100% of the CPU, battery time IS greatly hindered. I get about an hour with UAE, and about 4 with Windows.

But it's still cool when I'm out on campus and people see me using AWeb on my University's Wifi network and they ask me, "What operating system is that?"
