    I'm thinking of getting a new Vaio S 15". However I do a lot battery-powered use and I had read that the CPU speed is drastically limited when on battery and that this is called throttling (you see how much I know about computers). Is this the case and if so is there any way to get around it?

    To be more precise, I'm sure there is a way to do that but is there a way to do that in the standard Windows or VAIO settings without doing stuff like messing around with the BIOS or the thermal settings?
