New laptop with a 22 hour battery life

[zamaz]

Toshiba is releasing a new laptop called the "Dynabook Kira" that CLAIMS to have a 22 hour battery life. Pretty impressive, especially considering it's an ultrabook.

Specs sound good (I guess), guess since I'm used to a higher resolution (1680x1050) I'd want a better resolution. Will be lovely when we can have like 64k with months, years or decades long battery life.

That will never be the case, i bet it will die after 10 hours

Thats still not bad though, considering the macbook air claims 12 hours

Well I guess 10 hours is good but I just dont like estimates

I'll believe this when I see proof. I bet the claimed life of the battery is only in a super low power mode idling on the desktop or something instead of actual usage.

in the first 3 months... 6 if lucky.

Time to change the battery... OH.. that's riiiight.

probably. With actual use we could see no more then 15 hours.

I wonder how long a cell phone connected to a big screen with a 6 cell battery would last.  intel cpus are 90% more power than I ever need on a laptop.
