    im planning on buying a laptop, but i hve never had one before so i dont know how the batteries charge. I know on the PSP you plug in the PSP and the battery charges, but if i only have one laptop, would i be able to charge two batteries somehow? does the ac adaptor plug into the battery instead of hte laptop? what would i need to buy to be able to charge them both at once?

    As far as I know you can only charge one battery in your notebook unless it's using a smart-bay and can hold 2 batteries at once.

    Otherwise you'll have to change batteries once one is charged to charge the other.
