Man that sounds a bit ridiculous. Fortunatley I have my badass little netbook, so its not like i'm computerless, but i dont like always leaving it on like i do my desktop. my battery in this thing lasts me a good 5-6 hours while using wifi and i'd like to keep the battery in good condition. I still have a computer I suppose, its just tht i spent nearly $700 on my first build in a couple years since i couldnt afford it until recently. and now i just have to sit and wait more.
