Stephan, I noticed your response as the 2150CD model mentor. This model, and its announced successor (600?) sporting a Pentium 75 and Lithium Ion batteries have me ready to replace my computer. Just a few quick questions: Will the disc read a Mode1 track on a Multisession disc (all that the Pinnacle software can record–my Zenith PCMCIA based CD-ROM drive has to go back this week for an upgrade because it only reads Mode2 tracks) Can it support simultaneous video on an external display? At what resolution and color depth? Does it support hot-swapping batteries? Does it autosense voltages for european travel? How does the externalized floppy work? Does it take power from the unit? How well does it support Win95 plug N play? What do you think of the display under florescents? What about in "sunlight"? Does it support both "hibernation" (a quick resume auto-shutoff) and suspend (temporary power reduction? How long can it stay suspended on batteries and still have working life (I currently have a Compaq Aero, which will go for days, and if necessary, auto-hibernate). Thanks in advance–Neil
