pingle101 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2008 I am looking for a good notebook which has all the three essentials, long battery life, less in weight and good on performance. I have found Toshiba Portege R500 to be a good one on all these parameters. Please advise on sourcing this noteboof from the net. Had anyone purchased from the net? If yes, please let me know the mail id or web address from where to source for a good price. Also if some other notebook which is better from the above one please mention.

kshah 452 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 a new laptop shud give better battery life than 2 hrs Depends on config and usage pattern. I have seen very few laptops giving 2 hours battery life with wifi on, no optical drive usage. Screen ON. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
