IBM's T series has been great. 4 hours has not been a problem for me. Not every laptop has to have a "spare" battery to get additional life. The IBM T series, and others can add a second battery in place of the DVD drive which adds some additional life. I don't have one because I haven't needed it.
The best timesaver is to really have the system shut down everything that is not being used, and shut down quickly when you are not using the system as a whole.
http://www.realization.com is the website. I have talked with these folks extensively. They definately have a product which will support the TOC approach to project management. This approach will help focus resources, provide real information on trouble within a project, and between projects.
Implementing this is not easy, because you will have to have solid processes to use the tool, and it is not directly a software development methodology. However, if you have the $$ and really have an interest in taking your organization to a new level of project management, this is your best option.
