I almost never experience a battery life problem because I plug mine in almost every night. If someone here tells me how much that wastes a year in electricity, maybe I'll change. But since I read texts on the browser, every day, I'm sure I could never get the advertised battery length even if I carefully turned wireless off and on when switching between browser and documents.

Misleading advertising? I report, you decide
