    really concerned as to why wireless batteries only stay up and running 20 min. can't even watch a movie after it appears to be a full charge. It has been this way since I bought it 2 yrs ago.. very frustrateing, it will also shut off on you..

    yeah, that's expected.

    The K series use Pentium 4, which consume a ton of power since it's a desktop chip. The battery life advertised is about "1 hour," but that's when you set the LCD to the lowest brightness, not opening wireless, and doing nothing but microsoft word. that's how you'll get the 1 hour, maybe.

    If 20 min. bugs you way too much, buy a battery w/ more cell. (9 cell, for example)
