I believe that has something to do with the ability of the processor to clock back to save power when on the battery.

How much $$$

It sounds like a decent laptop.

If you don't have a wireless router you will need to plug in.

I paid 450. I am using it right now. Hard to get used to this small keyboard. Am I using someone elses bandwidth by not being plugged in?
