Actually, you can do better than that with a laptop if it has a Centrino processor and you have the kind of machine that will allow you to use two batteries. Andy

No matter what anyone tells you, the old units did not get 20 or 21 hours unless they were using the older mother boards. Anything with 5.0 or greater would get between 10 ans 12 hours. That was if you charged it to 100 percent then immediately let it talk itself to death. When I tried this with my MPower, I got none hours, 45 minutes. Probably not bad for a processor almost four times as fast. And yes, try to find a laptop that gets that kind of power. At 9/13/2005, you wrote: >The real question here is.
