why is there a mental attitude that says if using laptops indoors they must be plugged in, even at coffee shops? Mobile = untethered.

Most laptops are over one year old and battery life is abysmal? Just a thought.

Most batteries today will run at least several hours even after a year. From conversations with lots of mobile workers I believe it's simply fear. They stay plugged in just in case they find themselves away from a plug someday. That means they almost never use a laptop unplugged, something that amuses me to no end. :)

Mostly fear probably. If your laptop lasts 2 hours and you spend an hour of it at the coffee shop, you have that worry of running out of juice since there's only a hour left before you need to plug in.

I run mine down to 10% almost every work day before I plug it in. I still get 4 hours on my Dell D600.

Cause I'd like to use my computer for more than 15 minutes? o.O
