Laptops with the Longest Battery Life?
Yi Ding asks: "Recently, I have been investigating laptops for clients, and the majority of the complaints about current laptops is battery life. Most laptops just don't have enough juice to even finish a single DVD or write an article for 4-5 hours in an internet cafe. Of course, one can lug around extra battery packs, but it's a pain and often defeats the purpose of having a laptop in the first place, portability. What have your experiences with battery life been and where can I find the longest lasting, reasonably robust, laptop?"
to this article it looks like the latest model has gotten up to a six hour plus lifespan. Of course, it still costs a bundle.
I live on my laptop and it's an older IBM model, so the battery life is pretty rotten. My solution has just been to find a plug. If I'm on the road, I keep a power converter in the car and plug the laptop in so I can run at a full charge. It's also good for keeping the three-year-old entertained on a long car trip.

what else can one ask for? :p
A second mouse button and a pricetag less than $1000.
Only in a Slashdot fantasy can a Slackware install turn into several hours of sex . . . . .
3.5 hours is not that much considering I used to get that kind of battery life with my 3 years old HP omnibook.

She is just as American as you are, friend faggot.
Perhaps for something that isn't a piece of crap that Apple fan-boys drool over? Something, perhaps, with a mouse that doesn't immediately need replacing, or, perhaps, will run most software, or, just maybe, doesn't look like it should have "Made By Fisher-Price" stamped on it somewhere?
Are you always a pompous ass, or only when you have your Mac?
