Mena,
Thanks a bunch for that Newegg link - I hadn't been to their site in quite some time.
Yes indeed .... there are many laptops with LED backlit screens!
However, only 7 of the laptops shown by Newegg have 17.3 inch LED LCD screens with full 1920 X 1080 widescreen resoluion - like my laptop. Only 3 of those 7 show a battery life value and all 3 battery life times are longer than that of my laptop. 1 of them being head and shoulders above the other 2 ... at 5.5 hours ... which is fantastic for a high processor speed 17.3 inch full HD resolution screen laptop.
That long battery life time is exactly what I would expect from the advantage that an LED backlight gives. I'll bet that 5.5 hour battery life laptop would just sip RV battery current, too, when running off the RV's batteries. I wish I could afford it - it's price is listed at only a mere $4,873.99!!!!!! (Of course for that price you get not only a Blu-Ray DVD player - but a drive that WRITES Blu-Ray DVD discs, too.)
I'll guess I'll keep my 17.3 inch laptop for a wee bit longer. If I had that kind of RV money to spend I'd probably opt for a methanol fuel cell battery charger instead. ;)
