I have an apple laptop < http://www.zwtm.com/2008/08/toshiba-satellite-laptop-on-discount/ > that needs it’s battery charged every two hours! It is so frustrating. Have been saving up for something much more powerful and I’ve decided this will be it! It looks so powerful and very robust. LSD screen sounds very nice and spill resistant is an essential after how many keyboard I have ruined with drinks.

congratulations on finding such an informative page..

 

delge
further and you will see that the laptops listed are all in default
configurations, and the closest labeled is the 6910p not this laptop
specifically. also please take note that the article specifically
states that the 24 hour runtime is 100% dependant upon optional the
optional hardware listed.

LED backlighting, SSD drive, Ultra capacity 12 cell battery

 now for what i wanted to say....

for a long time now i have noticed on my laptop that the biggest battery drain is the LCD backlight and lowering its brightness gives me a longer battery life by itself compared to slowing down disabling and underpowering everything else combined in my laptop. closing the lid and using an external monitor gives an insane battery life increase (however not really feasable in the real world of mobile computing).

The path to the 24 hour computing experience lies in the ability to not need such a consistant power drain on a battery like a lcd backlight, and harddrive. When the de facto standard for laptops over the next few years includes those things expect to see a plethora of laptops that can do 20+ hours and those are not the high end with all the options.. those will be the common sellers to joe snuffy who paid 7-800 for his run of the mill 15" dell...
