Howdie, fellow Debianites! Just today I received the spare battery I had ordered from an online store; the old one had died on me -- as batteries are likely to do, eventually. It's an original HP spare battery for my HP Compaq 6715b and it cost just under 84€ with shipping and all. Now, the price represents roughly 14% of the retail price of the laptop (599€ when bought a couple of years ago).
I'm wondering what's the battery/laptop price index for other laptops out there? Is there any brand of laptops which comes with reasonably priced batteries (say, costing substantially less than 10% of the total laptop price)? Would you ever buy a car -- or even a mobile phone -- having a battery that cost 14% of the entire car/phone retail price? Anybody care to share? -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
