    I just noticed that on the Dell i6000, there is an external battery life indicator on it; as I already knew existed on the Latitude D620.

    Do all Dells have this battery life indicator? That is pretty ingenious. It beats thinking you can carry a spare and finding out it is dead.

    And many units are starting to get the built-in WiFi searcher too. Dell's doing well to add nice features like this.

    I think pretty much all laptops have a batt indicator; My ancient compaq even has one.
