Does anyone know the specs on the fluorescent lamp used in the TP750?
The thing that puzzles me is that I've got a flashlight that has a
fluorescent lamp which seems much much brighter than my mono display
even when I mess with the contrast so everything is white. It runs
off 2 AA batteries which last about 7 hours. I wonder if any laptop
manufacturers considered the option of running the lamp off both the
rechargeable battery and AA batteries.
