* your thread was moved to the Laptops and Pre-Built Systems section *

 

Next time, please post "hey look at this" types of content as a status update.

 

 

And lastly ; laptop having batteries that takes up half the frame (or almost) is pretty standards nowadays.

if that's a laptop 'from the school' that does not belong to you, you have no right to start opening it up. just want to get that in before anything else.

 

Beyond that:

- this is the case for most thin laptops, it's just the fact that electronics are getting smaller, but displays remain the same size for practical reasons, so more and more room is available for battery space.

- for a 'potato level' laptop, that is actually a fairly big motherboard, i have a netbook with a motherboard similar in size to a tablet motherboard.

- does this thread serve for any purpose other than crapping on a device you most likely got for free / for a very nice price? like.. is there a question here?

- even on higher power lightweight laptops (imply "anything that doesnt have a high power GPU").. a major part if not *the* major part of the power budget is going to the display backlight.

For a 6W prosser?

yes, because of economy of scale it's a LOT cheaper to reuse an already existing frame and battery on this type of device, plus, as a bonus it makes for impressive battery life.

 

Lenovo does this with their "business" line of laptops, multiple models but the bottom frame will remain similar on a lot of those models even if the specs and motherboard changes.

The battery is big as in physically big, as in the XY axis , but not on the Z axis, it's not thick.  

It's a 7.7v 47.3 Ah battery so relatively small compared to regular laptop batteries that use 3-4 elements in series to get higher voltage.

 

They probably kept the dimensions big because it's a standard size, and maybe they use the bottom plastic mold on multiple models
