HP has set a new trend in notebook computing by introducing a laptop whose juice doesn’t run out until 24 hours of continuous operation. The laptop, HP EliteBook 6930p comes with ultra energy saving components that ensures long battery life.
24 hours of continuous notebook operation is simply brilliant. Imagine not having to carry the charger around, it could save us from load and extra baggage; and could mobilize our operations in a better way.
The death knell for all battery packs on laptops arises from the display screen but for HP, one of the main contributors is its patented mercury free LED display called Illumi-Lite, which can boost the battery life by 4 hours over LCD screens.
Hard drives are yet another battery suckers, and HP has gone in with Intel solid-state hard drives (SSD) that has a net saving of 7% energy over others.
“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.”
As HP puts it, in 24 hours of battery life, people can:
- Use an HP EliteBook 6930p continuously on the world’s longest scheduled commercial airline flight – linking Newark Liberty International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport – approximately 18 hours, 40 minutes.
- Take more than 10 trips on the EuroStar train between London and Paris – approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes each direction – before recharging the battery.
- Travel as a passenger by car from Maine to Florida using a notebook during the entire journey.
