Never seen that here, and all the people in my department use laptops a lot.
I have seen two laptops with dead batteries, they were at least 3 years old
and we just got new batteries for them.

How old are they and what brand? If they really are only 4 months old then
just ask for a free replacement.

You can get them in all sizes, ranging from the tiny travel ones up to full
size mice.

Hmm maybe bad/cheap access point/network card/drivers? I have 3 machines
running at home over wireless continuously with no problems, in addition
even my phone, PS3 and Wii connect to it! At work it's the same, no
problems. I guess buying an access point and NIC from the same company
might help? Dunno, should be a solvable problem, it's not like nobody can
get a wireless network to work correctly.

About half the speed, but your internet connection will probably be the
bottleneck.
