I lead a very mobile lifestyle, and I always want the mobile Internet in the absence of the outlet. I carry a small
HP EliteBook 2530p with Ubuntu on Board and HTC Desire HD. The Communicator is very widely used for surfing, calendar and mail. In the case of any serious used as a modem in conjunction with a netbook.
Desire HD has a microscopic battery, which is enough for me for a few hours (after various optimizations and dances with a tambourine around the firmware, and also purchase "how advanced" Chinese battery). Because of the peculiarities of the case the battery is inserted into the slit on the side, which eliminates the appearance of extended batteries are larger. Also uncomfortable and too tight case makes the very uncomfortable process of replacing the battery itself.
I know on some laptops there is a function sleep mode, USB powered, which is very convenient to use to charge your phone.
So, questions to the Esteemed Experts:
- Is it possible on my netbook?
- As it is properly called in English?
- At which level is implemented, hardware or software?
- And if the software, how depends on the OS?
