    Some airlines have power sockets for computers, but usually these are only in First and Business class. If you are in Economy class then it is unlikely that you will have a power socket. It is also unlikely that you will have enough space to safely use your computer if it is bigger than 13.3" size. Beware of the person in front reclining their seat and hitting your computer's screen!

    If you know which airline you will be using then usually you can check on its website for the facilities on each type of plane. Perhaps the best you can hope for is some multi-channel in-flight entertainment.

    Finnair has two 'n's.

    Looking at the Finnair website I see Working Onboard, which says

    Otherwise it is only business class who have power sockets.

    So it may be better to fall back on the In-flight Entertainment. There seems to be individual screens on the A340. Looking at the timetable indicates that it an MD11 if you are going the Delhi but an Airbus 340-300 if you are going to Mumbai.

    I don't really game on my notebook; atleast nothing recent (I have a desktop for that) but yeah upgrading to 2GB of ram really helped me out (as I am running vista now and not XP MCE). I never run out of memory now, remember you have a x1600, I have integrated graphics(xpress 1100) which steals ram for itself. Upgrading is really your personal choice...
