The JC laptops were supposed to bring us into the “new,” but it’s hard to go into the new when the batteries only last ten minutes. The battery life on the laptops is literally so bad that I actually only have time to say, “Hey, look! My battery is about to die!“ And then it dies. As much as that accomplishes, I wish I had time to, oh I don’t know, maybe take some notes or even use the Internet — you know the things that people are supposed to do on a laptop. Plus, whenever you want to plug in your computer to let it charge, the teachers yell at you and say how you should have charged it at home. Well, I did charge it at home, but the battery is so bad that it dies within the first five minutes of class. This problem had better be solved soon or else I am going to go insane. If there was a way to replace batteries that are dysfunctional than this problem would be solved.
