I have owned a lot of laptops, toughbooks, Dells, Gateway, HP, IBM, Sony, Acer and the list goes on.I have to say that Toshiba tops my list of PC laptops.They usually have plenty of USB, Firewire, SD slots, whatever you might need, its there.They are sturdy, reliable high quality notebooks.No matter what brand of notebook or laptop PC you buy, you will eventually need a new TOSHIBA PA3399U-1BAS Laptop Battery.You can go cheap, but I recommend spending a little extra and getting some decent battery life.
Tip #1 Buy a Lithium Ion LiON batteries are now used in most new laptops. Unlike the NiMH battery, LiON laptop batteries have no memory effect. LiON batteries are also lighter than both NiCd and NiMH notebook batteries. Both of these advantages equal out to the Lithium Ion battery being the most popular and most expensive among the various notebook power sources.
Tip #2 You can purchase a battery for around $120-$150 which will get you up to 2-3 hours of extra TOSHIBA PABAS115 Laptop Battery life. The better ones have the capacity to give battery life of 7 to 10 hours and cost anywhere from $300-$500.
Tip # 3 Don't limit yourself to the manufacturer, look at Amazon and eBay (I prefer Amazon) as well.They usually offer better pricing
Tip #4 Get a laptop base with a cooling fan. High temperatures have an adverse effect on laptop batteries. Extreme heat can cause the battery to discharge prematurely and can eventually lead to TOSHIBA Satellite-E105 Laptop Battery damage.
