We have done every performance test we can come up with for the laptop. It passes. To just get to a point we know will work it is easier to get a new laptop. We needed a backup anyway. The laptop is 18 months old, and has a SSD drive. I can't imagine it is getting slow. It worked fine just last week.
One thing the camera manufacturer has seen is sometimes a USB port itself gets worn, or has a bad connection internally. It will work 90% of the time. We have to have 100%.
We needed a basic travel laptop for use when on the road. It will work for for that.
We have an external battery pack that provides 12 volts. The charger is plugged into that, and the laptop can run for 24 hours straight on that. Every setting is set to run full speed, no power saving. On a 4 or 5 hour flight it shows fully charged on the internal battery with the external battery hooked in.
