I bought an ASUS "whitebook" last year. It felt good not to pay for
an OS I wasn't going to use. But, now I wonder if it was such a good
idea. I can't seem to find an extra battery to buy anywhere. Is
this a general
im still glad i went with the whitebook though. it was about half
the
price of a macbook pro with the same specs, and still a nice metal
case... plus it has a row of pageup/down/home/end keys on the right
edge i cant imagine going without for any extended
irssi/firefox/manpage paging..
Yes, price/performance was one of my considerations, too. And I also
have the row of navigation keys which are indeed good to have.
Another question ...
I have my laptop running fairly well now with 2.6.20.1 patched with
patch-2.6.20-rt8 and Rui's rtirq script. jack, jack_alsamidi, patchage,
specimen, seq24 work fine along with my usb midi keyboard.
One issue though, I'm getting a nasty zipper noise in one monitor
connected to the edirol ua-25 whenever any keyboard, trackpad, disk or
video activity happens. If I unplug from the power supply and run on
battery the noise goes away. Everything (laptop and 2 active monitors)
are on the same power strip. ua-25 and remote25 are usb powered. I
recall someone else reporting something similar recently.
Is there anything I can try to do to get rid of the noise when plugged
into power?
