Do I get more battery life watching a streaming movie say on itunes versus watching a dvd which uses the computer dvd driver or does it not make a difference i terms of battery life.
Definitely run it off the HD, in fact, if you have an SD card slot for digital cameras put the video file on there and crank up your power settings to turn the HD off after inactivity.
