How to get more laptop battery life - The simple fact of laptop life is that notebooks simply don”t run as long on their batteries as they should–even long-lived notebooks, such as the IBM ThinkPad X31, last only 8 hours on two batteries. So, what can you do if you”d like to boost your battery life by anywhere from 4 to 10 hours? One of your best options is an external laptop battery made by a third-party company. These devices weigh between 1.6 and 3.3 pounds and range in cost from $150 to $500. In some cases, they can also power your cell phone or handheld device. If you don”t mind lugging a few extra pounds, these batteries are easy to use because they simply plug into the notebook”s AC power port and require no software. Pack one of these, and you”ll never look at a wall outlet the same way again.

Why buy a laptop not a PC? They are cheaper in the long run and way less frustrating! The reason of laptops being more expensive than desktop computers is not, as many people think, that desktop ones are better or more reliable (in fact the majority of computer failures have been reported to happen on desktops), but resides on the laptops need to be manufactured with components that must be small to fit into a small case, and at the same time be resistant to high heat levels and reduce power consumption to a minimum. I own both a laptop and a desktop computer, and although this last one was cheaper to buy and its nominal speed is bigger, it fails some times for apparently no reason, while my faithful laptop has never had any problem and is just as fast as my desktop PC with a lower CPU speed.
