10 Laptops with the Longest Battery Life

Dell Latitude E5530

Covered in a sturdy tri-metal casing, the Dell Latitude E5530’s 9-cell battery clocked in at an excellent 8 hours and 39 minutes. This business notebook is no slouch in the components front either, sporting a Core i7 CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB 7,200 rpm hard drive, all of which held up well in our tests.

    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.

    Dear Jake:
    Where can I get a monster 18.4″ with discrete graphics cards with the new Sandy Bridge processors ?
    And Hi-Life batteries for geological field work.
    Thanks,

    Jamshed: Your best bet would be a workstation from Lenovo or Dell.

    How about testing a 12.5″ HP 2570P with 100Whr 9-cell? It claims 9-15hrs battery life in it’s specs. A system with a socketted CPU (so can be user upgraded) and optical drive. A decent alternative to a 12.5″ Lenovo X230 which has a soldered CPU and no optical drive.

    Given some laptops are tested with sheet batteries, why not test the Dell e6430 with its battery slice as well? Over 30 hours of runtime with its battery slice option

    I think the FatBatt Fifty is a more accurate list. They update it too but I don’t know how often.
