10 Laptops with the Longest Battery Life

Dell XPS 14

While its a bit on the bulky side (4.8-pounds), the Dell XPS 14 has a lot going for it as well, including an accurate touchpad, attractive chassis, sharp 1600 x 900 14-inch display and battery life that clocked in at 8 hours and 17 minutes. That's over 1 hour and 45 minutes longer than the category average. Its Core i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM provide plenty of processing power as well. We just wish it were a little lighter.

    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.
