A: on battery life: if you're going to be on the laptop for many hours, take out ur battery and use power straight from the adapter. i heard each time ur battery dies and u charge it, u're using up the battery power. but due to unforseen blackouts, always be saving ur work as you go along... wherever you go, always make sure ur laptop is in a casing/bag with extra pading. no water near ur laptop. i don't know what softwares in particular u shud avoid, but, best to be armed with anti-viruse programs like kaspersky or mcAfee...
