A portable charger for the truck for those areas that have free internet when your battery is going low. There are web sites that explain how to hook up remotely to their free internet.

Just make sure you DON'T leave it on your bed while charging!!!!!!

The battery is a good question in itself.

I've heard both :
1. always leave it plugged in
2. unplug it often to let the battery drain just about all the way.

I let my battery drain. My hopes are this prevents it from getting memory.

yeah I always unplug mine and run the battery down. Then I charge it back up again. I've had this laptop for four years now and the battery is still decent--about 1.5 hours of time when not hooked to a plug.
