    Hi everyone,

    I have noticed that the w2v goes to about 50% of battery power when I shut the notebook down, via XP, and place it in my bag. When I unplug it at work it's 100%, but late in the nigth when I goto use it, it's at 50%? Wierd? Am I missing something? Thanks alot guys for you help.

    The only thing I can think of is are you giving it enough time to finish shutting down before closing the lid? If you close the lid too quickly it will go into standby half way through shutting down and will be using quite a bit of battery power in transit.
