| | No matter how stacked its specs are, a laptop is useless if it can't hold a charge. Fortunately, there are plenty of notebooks that go the distance. Using our Laptop Mag Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi), we've identified the 10 longest-lasting notebooks on the market. We're talking anywhere from 9 hours to more than 20 hours of endurance, which should more than suffice for that cross-country fight, long day of meetings or multiple, back-to-back classes.  | | | |

|  | | |  | | | The Getac F110 aims to combine tablet mobility with field-ready durability, packing a full Windows experience within a rugged 11.6-inch frame. This military-tested slate can endure drops, dust, spills and shocks, and has dual-swappable batteries to keep you from running out of juice on the job. But can this $2,899 tablet outlast ruggedized competitors?  | | | |  | | | When it launched Windows 8 in 2012, Microsoft radically changed the interface of its OS, providing a better touch experience but alienating millions of keyboard and mouse-centric users. Last year, the company made some major improvements with Windows 8.1, bringing back the Start button (but no Start menu) and including a new multi-window mode for its "modern" interface. Now, the company is releasing an update to Windows 8.1 that adds a few more mouse-friendly features. Are these changes enough to make Windows 7 diehards feel comfortable about upgrading?  | | | | | | |
