get the longest battery life you can. Some laptops are available with different batteries - always get the long life version if you can. Remember that 2 hours is not guaranteed. The brighter your screen is, louder your volume is, more processor intensive your apps are, etc etc etc, the shorter your battery life. I have a 4 hour battery on mine and it does last that long if I stick to stuff like Word and the calculator, but if I start video editing or running GPS nav the battery life drops significantly.

Of course a lot of laptop sellers will let you buy a second battery at a deep discount if you buy it when you buy the laptop. . . I really wish I'd done that.
