Best Battery Life: Laptops That Last 7+ Hours
August 4th, 2011 by LAPTOP Editors A good laptop should last 5 hours on a charge. A great one will give you nearly a full workday’s worth of juice for surfing the web, checking e-mail and social networking updates. That’s why we made the cut-off for this elite group of portables 7 hours. All of these machines were able to surf the web continuously with the screen on 40 percent brightness (about the default level when you unplug a notebook) for at least that amount of time. Want to work and play all day without having to hunt for an outlet? Read on.

I had the Samsung N110 and I loved the battery life. I could go from JFK airport to LAX including time in airport waiting for flight on one battery charge. During this last CES it was great to have I didn’t worry about the battery until end of day. It doesn’t take long to recharge from empty battery either. Only downfall is it got hot quickly and was kinda slow compared to other laptops on the market.

Well battery life depends. If you have a monster 18.4″ with discrete graphics cards expectations are alot less. But with the new Sandy Bridge processors your getting then you ever had before.
