It also talks about how extremely safe the technology is. http://www.livescience.com/technology/050513_new_battery.html Here’s a link that talks about nuclear batteries that could last as long as 12 years.

And, the battery would be fully contained so that NO radiation could escape whatsoever. I heard about the idea 6 or 7 years ago because there was some company that actually WAS exploring the idea. And, they really did get SUPER long run times. Imagine not having to plug in for an entire year. It is almost too good to be true (which is probably why the technology never made it).

That would be a failproof way to ensure you're limited to your three existing children... Do you really want to hold a small nuclear reactor on your lap?

My old tablet has a super dim screen but my current one is fairly bright. One problem with lots of battery time is weight. The more battery time you get, the heavier the laptop. I think we should have nuclear batteries that last maybe a year or so. Yes, bright screens are awesome. My old tablet has a super dim screen but my current one is fairly bright.

Most important feature: battery life. Also, a screen which can be viewed in all types of light (including outdoors). An air card would be nice too, but I kinda feel I spend too much time on the interweb looking at blogs, making sarcastic comments, etc., etc., so maybe that isn't a total necessity.
