can anyone tell me which laptop processors give the best battery life? I'm gonna buy a laptop soon and I don't want to end up with one that can only be used for an hour.
in AMD, Mobile versions of the processors will last around 2 hours (Will see M after the speed),
and same goes for Pentium with 'Mobile' at the start of the rating. These will be built to last longer for laptop use
For instance, heres a list to show what I mean for Intel:
it would depend of course on use, but the 2 hour rating is usually based on a bit of hard work too, thugh if yu play games, of course this would drop a bit as it uses more power than listening to music and typing on a word processor for instance. Though you know your gettnig the max power available.
you'll have to check on the site or find the laptop you want and search for reviews. Because each laptop will vary based on processor speeds and what differenet hardware and software you have.
It also depends on the battery size, a bigger battery can give double the amount of time, and some laptops have a replacement bigger battery you can buy seperatly.
I don't know if this will help, but here is an article about battery life on laptops of different types and what affects power:
