<p>instead of pictures, I’d suggest you use a scanner like I did. Yep, I’m one of those textbook dorks too ;-). You’re not alone. However, in terms of taking notes in class, unless it’s something you’re already doing in HS, you probably won’t do it in college either (unless you’re going to one of those places that requires it) so I wouldn’t bank on it. </p>
<p>My macbook gets anywhere from 3-10 (no joke!) hours on one charge. Be sure to keep you screen dimmed and set your power settings accordingly. </p>
<p>My laptop takes about 2 hours to fully charge. It all depends on the computer. The last POS I had (I bought it used–HP ZT3000) lasted 30 minutes on a charge and took about 45 to re-charge.</p>
