vx88 p3-m 850 MHZ, autospeedstep keeps it at 500 MHz most of the time. I
can't see the model number, but the battery is the double size one that
also acts as a keyboard stand. To get a full day's work out of it I have
to turn the screen down, but at full brightness I can easily handle a
couple of 90 minute flights and a client meeting.
