Intel Corp (INTC)

Which processors and how big a battery?

I organised the purchase of a Dell Inspiron low end C2D laptop for a friend's daughter and the little Dell battery life symbol showed that at full charge, we could expect 2hrs life.

I would have thought the CPU would have been a mobile design, rather than a desktop CPU shoehorned into a laptop to reduce costs, but maybe not????


=============

rudedog: Core has easily been capable of >5hrs for the last few generations with the standard parts.

Not sure why you think its a stunt? Intel has been doing sophisticated clock gating and sleep modes for a while. CULV is targeted at Ultra thins. Allegedly Neo does too but it sort of fits between a netbook and CULV as far as performance and battery life is not particularly great.
