Real life must intercede here. Nobody else's laptop will work more then 3
hours. Most people work in the same spot day in and day out. When they
move arround they have places with the needed power to run their
laptop. That is real world. Operating for 8 hours on battery just is not.
Most laptops in business move from the desk at work to the desk at
home. There are a few (and very few at that) who move arround a lot. They
work out ways to have a power source. But if you decide to carry a battery
to power your devices for 8 straight hours you will distinguish
yourself. (Though few people would consider the words complimentary.)
