Laptops and Gaming

I really think the battery evolution is many years behind the rest of the components in a modern laptop. I mean most batterys as you say cant handle more than a few hours. I think its laughable. I hope they get will make some überbatteris come out soon so you can have it on atleast 12+ hours with out worrying about them.

Well, there are a few alternatives. Rechargeable fuel cells sound like a good idea. Fuel cells that you can recharge with ethanol while you are using them. Cost was the main drawback of that system. If you could harness the heat that's wasted in the system's operation and some how convert that heat into electricity (maybe by using the heat to catalyze some chemical reaction) you could probably end up with good solution. Reducing resistance would really help too, so research in ambient-temperature superconductors will probably yield interesting results.

Remember that innovation costs money and many companies (Dell is a good example) hate to risk money innovating. They prefer to let Apple and other companies to try it first. They made me laugh a lot when I was taking the training for the new XPS 710 with H2C. Seriously these guys were sounding off as if Dell had invented thermo-electric cooling (look up Peltier in wikipedia). This is a techology that's pretty old and those guys now think they have reinvented the wheel. That's one area that could use some improvement.

not only is a peltier a powerguzzler, a peltier is also dangerous as well tbh... if it malfunctions, it has a good chance of inverting the poles & thereby frying your precious hardware. it doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen that it melts through a motherboard from time to time.
