Killing me softly

April 1st, 2008 | Posted by wiehanne

The sudden black out in Medan is enough to kill me softly. I need a medical insurance! I hate it when I am in the middle of doing my job and POP! There it goes. The web page that I’ve opened for reference was gone, unsaved files and so on.

I’m using laptop, so how could it off when there is black out? Ain’t there is battery there? Alright, as a matter of fact, I never put battery in my laptop when it is connected to the electric. The boyfriend once told me that using battery together with electricity might shorten the battery life. Some more, there used to be no black out in KL, the laptop won’t off suddenly, unless someone didn’t pay the bill. So, battery was used when I went to college or mall. The result of that, the battery life is as new as before. 3 hours charging, 3 hours usage. It’s Acer TravelMate by the way.

And I think, normally people never take out the battery from their laptop. Why? Before I went to KL a month ago, I called a computer shop in Medan to ask about UPS for laptop. The lady replied me with the tone as if I’m a stupido,”UPS is normally for PC. People won’t use it for laptop cause laptop has battery already right?” Wah, got business and she didn’t want to do, told me no need to buy some more. -___-”

Then the boyfriend said that new laptop shouldn’t be having such a problem, in terms of putting battery while running on the electric. But mine isn’t a new laptop, it’s 3 years old already. I dare not risk the battery, I take it out after one month running with battery and electric.

May the laptop and battery live longer… And no more black out please…
