Wireless my ass

So I went and bought this laptop right, I liked the idea of being able to move around and write emails/talk on messenger/org from basically anywhere instead of being trapped to the old standard pc...

Well, the battery on this dang thing doesn't seem to last me that long and now I'm trapped near an available outlet...which in my world is few and far between.

It seems that my life has been reduced to things that are supposed to make my life easier but are always in need of charging, damn it I'm forever glued to the wall when I talk on my cell because my battery always seems to be running low, almost every time I want to take a picture I need to wait for he batteries to charge up.

anyone else got these problems?

Well, there's probably more outlets than there are LAN wire connection points, so it's kinda good, right? Just trying to look at the good side of it. confused

YES! though they say six hours of battery life and on average I get between 3 and 4... but it's still the best, hands down... hey sweeney, maybe you need a new battery for your phone? That's why it keeps running out?
I mean, like, where is the sun?

Most of the devices that you mention use a lithium-ion battery. If you happened to purchase either your phone and/or laptop at Best Buy and you bought the 4 year extended service...then both batteries are replaced for free. I know, I replace batteries for digital cameras nearly everyday.
