Twisted Lew asked:

Why does the battery icon show up on the bottom of the laptop screen with the other icons when I have the laptop plugged into the charger? Do I have to unplug the laptop from the charger to use it?

Firestarter asked:

I will be buying a new laptop soon, and my major concern is the noise created by the laptop computer due to its fan operation. I work in a clinical environment and absolute silence is an absolute requirement at times. 

Because of this, I am thinking about buying a Macbook because a co-worker has one and it is extremely quiet. However, I'd rather not spend this much on a laptop computer when I can get the same power in a PC for half to two-thirds the cost of the Macbook.
I'm hoping that you guys can tell me how much noise the  Dell Inspiron makes and if its fan is quiet? I'd also rather get the Dell because it seems like replacement laptop batteries are available for them from generic battery manufacturers.

Can anybody tell me how laptop batteries are rated for capacity?

KelvinM asked:

I have a new Sony laptop computer that I use a lot and I need to swap out the OEM battery with one of the replacement laptop batteries that I have. I mostly use my computer for surfing the web, word processing and playing music and video files. Can anybody give me some ideas on how to prolong the battery's operating time so I don't need to keep swapping the replacement laptop batteries in my computer?
