HP Claims First 24-hour Laptop
HP is claiming to have cracked one of mobile computing’s biggest challenges by launching a laptop that can run for 24 hours on a single charge. The new EliteBook 6930p enterprise notebook marries an Intel Solid State Drive (SSD) with a new LED display to push the battery past the magical 24-hour mark. According to HP, the SSD boosts battery life by around 7% over the regular hard disk drive while the LED display is credited with adding 4 hours to the battery life. Both the SSD and the mercury-free LED display are options. “All-day computing has been the holy grail of notebook computing,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, HP. “With the HP EliteBook 6930p, customers no longer have to worry about their notebook battery running out before their work day is over.” The 24-hour work day, Ted? C’mon. Anyway, it’s still a decent achievement and certainly kicks the crap out of the measly 3.5 hour battery life I get from my ancient, entry-level Vaio. The 24-hour notebook is priced at around £920.-Martin Lynch [HP] laptop notebook gadget
