Sony Vaio T Laptops Get 17 Hours of Battery Life!

I thought my Eee PC 1000HE got plenty battery life at about 9 hours but Sony Vaio T laptop (which is only available in Japan as of now) touts as whopping 17 hours of battery life!

Did I mention it’s super easy to make?  I originally found this idea at Thingiverse.com, where Erik Skiff whipped up a pretty cool acrylic stand.  I didn’t have any acrylic and more importantly I didn’t have a lazer cutter make the cuts, so I did it on cardboard.  I modified the design a little so the pattern would fit on a regular letter sized sheet of paper.

Laptop manufacturers have been making laptops with fans on the bottom and if you place it on a flat surface, that can be a big source of heat problems.

There’s a lot of laptop stands out there but I see a simpler solution with these Laptop Lift Stickers that will raise your laptop slightly off those flat surfaces, allowing
