the Unexpressed Advantage

This post is a tribute to my 4+ year old Compaq Laptop that I have taken to calling "little buddy" for the last year ago.

I just did a battery test on buddy (meaning I turned off all power-saving features and let a fully charged battery drain to see how long the battery lasts) and am happy to report that he's holding strong with 6% of the battery left after over 2 hours of being on continuously. Now it's up to 2 hours and 2 minutes. How awesome is that? Two hours of battery life after 4 years! What an awesome little laptop.
