Hi.  Potential Australia purchaser here.  I've had a bit of a search but can't find any difinitave answers.

 

I'm after a notebook that will run without mains power for many hours.  So, I thought I'd look into the dual battery scenario.  Problem is I can't see anywhere that it lists dual battery capability with any notebooks available from the AU website.  It mentions that some notebooks are able to have a second battery plugged into the modular bay.  Is it by default that any of their machines allow a battery to be plugged in?  When you configure a system, all notebooks only list a spare primary battery available for purchase and doesn't indicate anything about dual battery capability.

 

Any suggestions on a model to go for?  All I care about is buying a notebook that will last at least twice as long as your regular notebook.  I don't care about having heaps of memory or a fast CPU so the cheapest, base spec machine is desirable but only if it is efficient and can use two batteries.  All the computer will be used for is to control a digital compact camera to take and save photos while out in the field by itself.

 

Thanks
