Answer 1

I've neverd used one. Are you using a laptop because you can always keep the charger plug in while you work or do w/e on it.  

Answer 2

Mac Quality is superior to PCs.  Nearly all batteries are made by Sony, including the ones Apple uses in its PCs.  In order to determine a laptop that is best for you, you need to decide what you want to be using it for.

If all you will be using it for is school work and storing pictures, web surfing, you can get away with an inexpensive computer.  If you want t be film or photo editing, music, or are a musicians, or mixing on any or all of it, a Mac is the way to go.  For that you will need a minimum of a 2.0GHz 2B RAM with a Matte Screen.

When you get to the $1000-$2000 range for laptops, you get to the strength of Macs.  This is because of Macs superior hardware and integration of is OS and applications with its hardware components.

In addition, if you purchase a Mac and going to college, in addition to a student discount, Apple gives you a iTouch iPod ($299) value.  They also give you a $100 discount on selected printers, but that really for most isn't worth the trouble.

Beyond that, Vista and XP works better on Mac than on PC that have those OS pre-installed.  You can play games that are in the upper mid range.

If you are a high end gamer, then you go back to PCs with the strongest processors, high end RAM that is liquid cooled and the absolute fastest RMS Sata hard drives and graphics cards with lots of dedicated memory.

With respect to batteries, the stronger the processor and graphics card,the bigger the draw on the batteries and if you want your computer to last longer, you need to buy the strongest and more expensive batteries.

I'm personally not high on Chinese products that have the IBM name.  I've heard there are problems with quality issues

I hope my information helps.

Lenovas are terrible.

I had one, and i had it fixed 8 times. The battery/charger broke 3 times. It was costing me too much in repairs, it was just worth it to get another computer.

Just stay away. There are cheap pieces of junk.
