Analytical center DriverPack Solution ranked notebooks that work best on battery power

Why do some notebook batteries lose their charge too quickly and how to deal with it? Specialists of the analytical center DriverPack Solution conducted a study of popular laptop models and found out which of them can work autonomously the longest.

Modern rhythm of life requires mobility and efficiency. Even spending the weekend in nature, we are often faced with the need to use a laptop. But not all laptops are able to work without connecting to the network all the time, which is stated by the manufacturer. How to increase the battery life of a laptop? Especially this problem is relevant in the summer, when many prefer to work in the fresh air. Every second owner of a laptop or netbook acquires it for work outside the office or at home, which means that he plans that he will be able to work on battery for almost a full day.

To identify the leaders of the work offline, the specialists of the analytical center DriverPack Solution conducted several tests with laptops for each model. Laptops and netuks subjected to two types of workload. During the first test on a laptop, they solved simple office tasks, such as browsing websites, writing texts, work with tables. During the second test on a laptop, more complex tasks were solved, such as video editing, 3-D games, and design layouts. Laptops and netbooks of different brands showed themselves differently, but netbooks did much better.

For Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830TG-2313G50, the battery life was 8 hours in light load mode and almost 6 hours in heavy load mode. This is one of the highest results. The rest of the tested models showed less impressive results.

Samsung NC110 was able to work in atomic mode for 7 hours with a light load, and 6 hours with a heavy load. Toshiba NB520-10E worked only 5 hours with a light load and 4 hours with a strong one.

Employees of the analytical center DriverPack Solution recommend not to overload laptops and netbooks unless absolutely necessary. This can lead to rapid wear and rapid damage to the devices. Remember that the battery does not hold the charge for a long time and is discharged, even if it is removed from the laptop. Choosing a laptop or netbook should be understood for what purpose it is purchased, and also take into account that the high computing power of a laptop causes great power consumption. And the higher the power consumption, the less the battery life.
