ckblackm Very Active Member Joined Dec 3, 2008 Messages 469 Location North Carolina, USA Jan 30, 2013 #9 I've noticed the USB power consumption... If I hook up a keyboard and mouse... it really starts to drain the battery. Is there a good test available to test to see if it's the internal wifi that's slowing my browsing down, or just the unit itself. thanks, Christopher.
