Should have bought myself something with longer battery life. At the
time I didn't really care though ;-) . I would love something with 8
hours of battery life; such as those OLPC, where you can take it to
class, write down all your notes, and not have to worry about a dead
battery.

P.S. In general after these years, are you people satisfied with this
line of laptops?
I haven't had any power problems with my R3240, except that the brick
needs a decent power outlet. My favorite place in the university
library has outlets that I think supply 80 volts on a good day. The
battery monitor keeps coming on, I reseat the plugs, a few minutes
later the battery monitor comes back. Elsewhere there is never a
problem.
I love the features of my R3240 for the paltry amount I paid for it
($800 two years ago). But I am very displeased with the quality of some
of the components. I've had keyboards lose keycaps, hard drive
connection is flaky, the paint on the top plate is scratched and ugly,
and I could go on. Plus, it is a brick at 9 lbs with the 12-cell
battery -- essential unless an hour and a half is long enough for you.
