Maybe you know this already, but your laptop probably has an option that
can turn off your screen. The point of the feature is to turn off the
laptop's screen while it is hooked up to an external monitor, but it
hopefully would work without another monitor attached. One reason to hope
that they don't try to be too smart and only let you turn it off when it
auto-detects an external monitor. If the monitor is off you should get
significantly better battery life. You'll have to look in your manual to
figure out how to do it, because every laptop is different and mine is so
old that it is not relevant to modern laptops.

Kaitlyn,
XI wish I had known about superlight laptops when I bought this one, but
it's not that heavy. I agree with you. These things need better battery
life. Well, I am just thankful for what I have. It was the best birthday
present!
