Jefke Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, for what will your laptop be used and what's the budget also check the other laptop topic: http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/38794-can-someone-refer-a-good-gaming-laptop/ (most gaming laptops, but you can get a basic idea ) The only laptops which will last 8h that I can think of are ultrabooks (@everybody : prove me wrong, really curious about laptops lasting 8 hours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My not to shabby Dell gets over 6.5 hours while full-power abusing it (screen at 50% (brighter than some 100% crappy screens), wireless on, compiling/writing/etc and stuff, not gaming though obviously), but that's with 15", i7, etc. Imagine some laptop with a nice 14" screen, replace the HDD by SSD and it's easy to get <10W/hr. Then push a 90+Whr battery in it and you're done. Basically, the T430 and E6430 do that. More importantly, although ultrabooks are commonly advertised with >8hr battery time, many of them never make that in any review. 5hr while using it is fairly average. 6hr is quite impossible without screwing down the brightness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty for the info (really, don't know much about laptops, because don't really need to ^^) My laptop, well maybe it last 4h ^^ (it's almost always plugged in anyway so no real problem). Although I'm planning to get a business line laptop next time. This one doesn't really handle the abuse of going with me to school all that well (got great warranty for 3 years so no real problem with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
