Well, even tongue in cheek, there is a bit truth in that. But it all depends on what you use the computer for, I think.I never surf when I'm on battery, I work. Surfing I do on my Notion Ink Adam Android tablet, with 3G and Wifi.

Yep. I'll know in a few weeks if it's any good or not. If it's OK I'll order another one to have a spare on the road. These things really eat batteries!

Hi, Qhn! Yeah, the 6500 has chugged pretty nicely along for a while, so I haven't been around that much. Sadly real life takes a lot of time out of my online life... And thanks! Then I'll order one now to test it, and if it seems OK I'll...

OK, thanks a lot! I will check that when I get it.

Wow! You will pay around 130 dollars for a regular 65 amp car battery here! Not to mention around 250 for a 100 watt inverter. I have no idea what a 5000 w would be, never seen those here. But I'm guessing we're talking way north of...
