What to bring to short meetings
A fully charged battery runs the computer for about two hours under most circumstances. If your meeting is shorter than that, you probably do not need to bring anything with you other than the computer.
What to bring to long meetings
If your meeting lasts longer than two hours or if your battery is not fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on the battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press Fn- F4 or close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer. Then tap any key or open the display to resume.

•Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
