yes the pack mate cost a lot more than a laptop and I don't know how longer
f s will be making the pack mate. one things many blind folks are using
laptops instead of a personal data device the cost is less and you can
duplicate what is on your desktop.

Battery Life of the PM depends partly on how you use it.
But here's a comparison.
My laptop will run maybe 1.5-2 hours without being connected to power.
I can take my PM on a trip and use it all day and still have 80 percent of
battery left.
I think it is safe to say that the PM will work all day and need no more
than a charge once a day or even every couple days.
Without a screen or hard drive to power, battery life will be much longer.
Blessings,
Tom
