Windows Power Management allows for two power management modes,one for the internal battery and one for the AC Adapter power, or external power. Other settings which will maximize the PowerPad's use are: 3. 0 simulation software and has achieved 16 hours of run-time,withthe notebook's Windows 95 Power Management set to its most efficient battery use. Our internal tests indicate that the PowerPad160 has approximately 160 watt-hours of energy capacity and enables users to run most laptops for 12 to 16 hours, compared to single batteries typically installed in portable computers, which generally have between 30-40 watt hours and 2 to 4 hour run-times.

The Tablet PC technology enables any Windows-based application to take advantage of pen-based input.
