which ones? there are soooo many ;-)
They do look good (but I dont like sony -- "ethically" :-/ )
Their screens are very nice and pretty much as bright as it gets at the
moment.

very good point -- it might (this is untested) make sense to take the
battery out when on mains. I have the same problem with my current
laptop: after a few months on mains my battery is good for 25
minutes...

any ideas what to do about this?

thanks for the quick reply,
