    Default Business laptop

    I need a laptop for carrying around and showing presentations and just checking mails and browsing a few websites some times...

    I dont need a very powerfull machine because all I want it for is to keep in touch on the go and for presentations and all that stuff.

    Its time to retire my almost 4 kilogram packard bell which has a lousy dull screen...

    I need a very light laptop with a fairly good battery backup.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks for the suggestion but this laptop only has a battery life of two hours something...

    I would rather go for something which lasts more then 5-6 hours.

    You can go for "Battery extender"..

    Acer claim to have 8 hour battery life. but it hardly last for 3 hours (My room-mate use it)... Only MAC has positive review regarding Battery, but again confirm it with some user.. Also there was some IBM machine which claims 12 hours battery life...Lemme just google it..

    Dell launched Latitude series laptops last year... They claim high battery backup...

    Take a look at this article... Dell introduces Latitude laptops with high battery back up

    From above article..
    As E6400 runs for as much as 10 hours on a single nine-cell battery with an additional battery that snaps on to the bottom of the laptop which can add almost nine hours of battery life, the user can use laptop for a full day without the support of AC adapter to recharge the battery.
    Addtionally battery means "Battery extender".. , and i'm afraid their claim of 10 hour with single nine-cell battery mean 3-4 hour only..

    Take a look of their Testing method(According To me )
    1. Start the laptop
    2. Leave it till it utilize all the battery

    Result
    3.Battery Life --- 10 hour
    I guess probably you surf internet, write some document, check mails, listen to some song(Which everyone does), then it reduce to 3-4 hour only...


    According to wiki..
    The battery life can exceed 10 hours when a large battery or an additional battery pack is installed.

    what maddy said is true 100% true.
    If u need business class laptop Dell is best. I have seen many corporates normally go for Dell.

    Battery bakup is superb. I myself after handling almost all of the recognised brands in market, seen that Dell battery has gr8 backup.

    lastly u get service at ur door.

    if ur requirement is 5-6 hrs, then u better buy 9cell Li-ion

    Thumbs up Lenovo

    I think you all guys forgot about the Lenovo business laptop it is the most ruggedized laptop ever built(the thinkpad series)

    Lenovo ThinkPad T400:
    The Lenovo ThinkPad T400 uses magnesium metals in its frame and a carbon fiber roll-cage—a metallic inner skeleton that protects the internal parts from potential harm.

    Also you can look for the Dell Latitude E6400 and the HP EliteBook 6930p
