I only had one set so drive for 15 minutes then charge it till tomorrow permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FordPrefect@startrek.website 1 point 2 years ago Yes! I had three NiCd to every one NiMH, & the NiCd would all be flat within minutes; then I'd switch to the NiMH for some actual fun & within 30 minutes they're all spent for the day. Sometimes I stripped the single-use flat cells out of used Polaroid film packs, for just a few minutes of superior power:weight ratio on my littlest RCs Then there were the flashlights we'd use for hours but if you put the same cells in the GameGear, dead in no time. LiPo cells were like a revelation... Come to think of it, the PSP had an optical drive which was a battery hog too; I remember a friend being elated that I'd found an aftermarket pack with more mAh. permalink fedilink source parent [–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Adding what exactly? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Lurking_Eye@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) I think the rog ally had Microsoft word (maybe even just office) come with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dawa@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago Cool, so now it's a "work laptop" and I can justify expensing it !!
