You will be better off with battery extenders. Personally, I ditched my
laptop [1] and settled down with my Palm PDA+foldable keyboard. It is /far/
more energy-efficient and it also fits in your shirt's pocket (keyboard
too). You can pull it out for 5 seconds, jot something down while walking,
and bury it back in the pocket. No tablet or laptop can replace that.
