Lenovo touts notebooks, Olympics push

The X60 line is the successor to the thin-and-light X40 line and comes with Intel's Core Duo processors, formerly code-named Yonah. Although the chips have two processing cores, the computers will consume up to 37 percent less energy than current models, Dusi said. With the supplemental battery, some models will run for nearly 11 hours on a single charge. The maximum battery time on current models with the supplemental battery is about eight hours.

"In general, you might get an hour, an hour and a half more, depending on the configuration," he said.

The energy savings come in part through new circuit technology inserted by Intel, but also because the chips get tasks done much quicker.
