I just wanted to thank all LUGers who replied to my request for info on
battery life.

The Macbook Air almost fits the bill. Alas, the absence of an SD card slot -
why did they leave it out - kills it for me. Yes, a USB card reader will
work, but I want everything built in. The Surface pro does not have an SD
slot either - only micro SD - so it is out too.

Someone asked what machines I used, the answer is PCs, 100%,  at home and
work. On the portable, the OS really doesn't matter AFAIAC. 

New portables under my self-imposed 1100 g limit are being introduced so I
will just wait and see.

Thanks again

Akhil
