Laptop Battery Power Fail?
So I installed PT9 on my MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz i5, 4GB RAM) in preparation for a vacation. I launched the application at home, and got everything set up. Good to go. On the airplane somewhere between Wisconsin and Oregon, I tried to fire up PT for some mid-flight drum comping. Every time I tried to launch the application, my computer hung mid-boot. I know PT is a pretty resource-intensive application, but I didn't think it would only boot from AC power, and not laptop power. When I got to my final destination, I plugged in the computer, and set things up. No problem at all with AC power.
I understand the short-comings, I was just a bit surprised. Anyone else have the same issue?

No. I am been running PT9 on battery on my Macbook Pro without issue.

Re: Laptop Battery Power Fail?
I'll be doing some more testing over the coming days to determine the issues. I'm surprised I'm the only one having this problem here.
