    i've had my 5672 for about 2 weeks now and i have noticed a strange problem with the wireless when running on battery power. when i'm plugged in everything is fine. however, when i use battery, the internet seems to be much more laggy and my AIM will keep getting disconnected. this is from the same location too and same signal strength. anyone have an idea whats up or anyone else with the same problem? :cool:

    you can try updating the drivers. If you are letting Windows XP to control your drivers, get Intel to do it instead (or vice versa).

    If you have Acer's ePower Management, when you're on battery power open up ePower Mangement and look at your CPU speed on battery power. You just my need to boost the speed.
