I take my laptop around with me the majority of the time I am out of the house, but over the six or seven months I've owned the laptop, I can't help but notice it's irritatingly poor battery life. Of course, I suppose it's only intended to get me between charging spots... however, I don't always have that convenience, and it is supposed to be a laptop after all. It'll say, "100%, 3.5h" and last about an hour -- that's not much use to me, as you can imagine.

 

And no, turning off the 940M doesn't change things

 

I've got a practically unlimited budget for a quality power bank that would keep it going for about four or five hours, even more if possible. Does anyone know the best thing to go with?
