Nice & handy if there's a power-out that lasts more than PB battery hours, up to 800 for that matter
A PB version : 65 Watts, 1000 Hours, half the current size or smaller ... that i'd take with me !

stuffing feathers up your b*tt doesn't make you a chicken.

I've also heard that some people are trying to develop micro internal combustion engines to power laptops, etc. Gasoline and other liquid hydrocarbon fuels have far higher energy densities than even the best batteries. I'll take mine turbocharged!
