I'm reassured by that.Yes, it is a nice laptop. I researched quite a few models - Dell Precision, HP something-or-other, and IBM thinkpads.

It's my only gripe.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Sep 2004 16:03:37 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/power-meter-always-charging/m-p/20601#M124229 Redrose 2004-09-18T16:03:37Z Re: Power meter always charging https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/power-meter-always-charging/m-p/20602#M124230 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I thought the keyboard is one of the best things about it <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.pt/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /> Nice and quiet and smooth great for typing on and you don't wake people up tapping away in the middle of the night lol.
