But anyway, one of these dayds I might be in a situation where
it is to my advantage to take a bus or rapid (the name we sue

have the laptop at least last the ride. But that is not now
so it is not a big issue.

My new $150 Acer 720 Chromebook battery lasts about 8 hrs of
intermittent operation. I haven't timed it, but it easily lasts all
day without a charge. That seems to be the trend in ultrabooks and
tablets these days, where the battery is something like 75% of the
volume of the device.
