Battery life is an influential factor for many people when choosing a laptop.

In order to assess which laptop will give the best battery life you will need to compare a number of models. Each laptop model will come with a power rating and this will indicate how many hours of battery life you will get in between charging. The power rating should be written in volts and amps and the higher the figure, the more battery life you will get. Most laptops offer a couple of hours of battery life as standard but if you are taking a long flight you may be looking for more. Some laptops are known for having a superb battery life and some boast that they can operate for an entire working day. If you travel a lot having a laptop on a long haul flight can allow you to catch up on work or simply keep you entertained. Knowing what can zap your battery life is a great way of getting the most out of your laptop before you have to reach for your laptop charger. There have been a number of tests done to determine the best laptops in terms of battery life and the Lenovo Think pad, the Acer TravelMate and the Fujitsu LifeBook came top of the class.

The World at Your Fingertips - Travel Gadgets

Laptops are just one part of the travel gadget armoury that allows us to move through the world with ease and style. For some, a laptop simply reaches IT parts other gadgets can't match; iPhones may be a way to keep connected but aren't suitable if you're holidaying in Italy with the aim of working on a novel or if you're a student partying in Ibiza by night and writing up essays by day. As long as you have a laptop charger, you know you have all you need.

Apps are an increasingly popular feature for the travel market, with various apps that can offer everything from travel guides to bespoke video cameras that come complete with a built-in USB so you can plug in and watch on your laptop. And you don't need to pack piles of books if you're planning on catching up with the summer's must reads - ereaders are an increasingly popular way of carrying an entire library in your back pocket. Ereaders mean you don't have to choose from a limited number of paperbacks and travel guides because of weight and space restrictions. The average ereader is the size and weight of a slim hardback book - but with the capacity to hold hundreds of titles.

As well as packing your laptop charger and smartphone charger, you can download satnavs on your phone if you're heading to un-chartered territory - or opt for waterproof handheld GPS systems - something that is increasingly of interest to specialist travellers such as serious walkers, bikers and hikers.

The other necessary travel gadget is the camera to capture those unique moments - most phones have state of the art camera technology that can be plugged in direct to your laptop for editing and viewing. The Flip video camera is also great for travellers looking for something small and none cumbersome that also plugs directly into your laptop with a built in USB.

Wherever you're going in the world, you can be equipped and ready for any eventuality - just don't forget the battery chargers!
