Acer has plenty of 4+ hour battery life
laptops. My personal one (rated for 3.5 hours)
has done just under 4 many times.
The Dell Latitude D530 iirc is rated for 8hrs
but I can easily get 6hrs which beats my early
Acer's 2½ hr battery. I assume that all laptops
have better battery life than they use to except
for the low end machines, but of course.
Acers generally come with 6 and 8 cell models, as
I recall. The 6 cells are in the cheaper models,
and are generally 2.5 hours. On most of the
Travelmate lines, there are a set with six and a
set with eight cells. They have a couple of
really long life batteries (5 to 7 hours, I
believe) but I haven't used any of those.
