New Notebook - AA Batteries Not Included

These days, hearing about low-end notebooks/netbooks for under $200 is not really the news it once was. And let’s be honest, at this price the product you receive is not going to be anything to write home about with regard to performance really.

But one unique angle with this particular laptop is rather than using the typical laptop battery one might expect to come with this model, this notebook actually users simple AA batteries! Great if you are at the airport and need a quick charge from the nearest gift shop, bad if you are stuck without being able to use rechargeables as buying batteries the time could get to be a bit pricey.

Overall, I can almost see the appeal of this lower end notebook. I mean, being able to swap out batteries with a never ending supply from your local 7-11 does have a rather nice appeal.

One Comment

It’s amazing to me that anybody would still prefer to use regular “once and done” batteries to power anything. Even i, a “earth hating” conservative, have enough common sense to know that standard batteries are a colossal waste.

Greenies want to ban some pretty stupid stuff but i guess they own stock in disposable batteries since you never here a peep about that.
