I use the duo280c for daily work and keep it with me at all times since the size is so handy! I have docks at home and the office, both have network cards and DLS < My purse weighs more :-) than the 280c > and for only three things to access my email, word processing and faxing. All extentions that I do not need to run those programs or the system are off. I let the battery run all the way down weekly, with a full 24hr recharge in between uses. For bi work I have a New Ibook or my trustie old 2300. By the way running you battery all the way down help it last longer as well as hold a charge better!
