looking for used laptop with long battery life
I'm looking for a new laptop - probably used for a year or two -
I need something with a longer battery life than 2 hrs, and also retains it's charge while sitting on the shelf - I've found the various Toshiba laptops we have loose their charge just sitting around - Any specific models to look for over on eBay ? We have several older laptops around the house for software testing. Toshiba 410 - Linux RH 6.2 Toshiba 430 - Win95b Toshiba 4015 - Win98se Toshiba 2755 - WinXP IBM Thinkpad 600e - NT 4.0 server Fujitsu Lifebook E330 - NT 4.0 workstation All the Toshiba's have terrible battery shelf life - -- I'd like to dump the Toshiba laptops I have, and get another used one over on eBay that has a lot of battery time & battery shelf life, and the other general features - support for XP or Win2k or Linux and has the various drivers available P600 or faster 256meg of memory 20 or 30 GB drive - CDrom or even CD burner - or DVD - floppy drive - PCMCIA, Serial, Parallel, USB - maybe firewire - etc... all built-in with no external devices or caddies Any suggestions for a well supported older model laptop that has all the usual built-in hardware & SUPPORT from the mfg - without all the frilly stuff, and glitter buttons - Phil - |
