Please bring down power extension cable (for your laptop) for the course! Those of you with PC working without external supply for more than 2hours will be ok without. Since each of you use laptop full time during the course, its always that the power supply becomes problem. Bring down extension cable with multiple sockets if you could find it in your lab.
