More than enough power.
2008-09-30One thing about camcorders is that you need them to be ready when the need arises. This battery has so much power that unless you are shooting Gone With The Wind, it should last for days. When this battery is freshly charged, my Sony CX12 shows 480 minutes of record time on the screen. Wow, that's a lot of time. With the regular battery you really have to carry two in case you end up shooting more than a couple of hours. With this battery you don't even need to think about having enough power. On the down side, it does protrude a bit from the back of the camera, but it's worth it.

Weak base support
2008-09-27Very good battery power! However the base of my battery was wekly glued since the battery detached from the video camera and fell off the floor leaving only the base case attaced to the video. Since I was recording at that moment ,all the recorded material was lost.
I had to glue it myself with crazy glue. Ever since, hopefully the accident has not recurred.
Otherwise, this is a solid battery that store many hours of use.

Awesome HUGE battery
2008-09-10The run time on this battery is awesome. I am glad I purchased it. It is pretty huge though. I shoot most of my videos on a tripod with LCD screen. With this battery, it makes it almost impossible to use the viewfinder. Big 'Ol battery:)

Good to have it
2008-09-02Good to have this as a back up. The battery comes with the cam is not sufficient if you are on a vacation and wants to shoot for more than 1 and half hours you really need a good backup.

Large Capacity
2008-08-26If you're looking for a long lasting battery - this is it! It does take a while to charge up, but it lasts a long time and its worth it. Everyone complains about the size of the battery, I'm using it on the Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder and it balances the camera nicely. Based on other feedback I was expecting it to be bulkier than it actually was and considered buying one or two of the smaller batteries instead but I'm glad I didn't. This one is all I need and feels good on the camera.

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
