    it seems HP sells ac model rated at 135W, but the
    only car model is rated 90W and doesn't have zv
    listed as compatible. is 90W enough? any suggestions on where to find one less expensive? thanks

    Nope. Well, maybe, if you used ClockGen to force one of the lower-power modes. The CPU alone can burn 81W max, though only a fraction of that in power saving mode. Setting full speed at 1.3V with ClockGen might work. You've still got the big screen, HD, and wireless to think about.
