In Flight Entertainment

The flight to Taiwan will have one layover in Japan.  All told, I think it’s about a 10 hour flight there and a few hours longer on the way back.  Since airline seats aren’t the best for sleeping, I imagine I’ll need to keep myself occupied for most of that trip.

The laptop I’m taking is the Asus 1015pn.  It purportedly has a 10 hour battery life, but I can’t imagine using it for that long in one sitting.  I’ll probably rip a few movies for the flight so watching them will probably significantly shorten the battery life.  Luckily I have other forms of entertainment.

I think most of my flight time will be taken up with reading books on my Nook.  It uses an e-ink display so the reading is very much like reading off paper.  The battery life is good for at least a week but I’ll still have to take the associated charger.  It does have free 3G connectivity but I don’t think it will work in Taiwan. I’ll need to load up on books.
