Having talked recently about battery life, I was intrigued to see reports on the BBC website (click to see original report) about one of the latest HP laptops (HP EliteBook 6930p) that offers 24 hours of battery life. According to rivals Dell, this is not quite true as they used an old system to measure it. Using the new system, the battery life is less than 22 hours. That beats my less than three hours! Apparently the increased battery life comes from using the new LED screens and solid state hard drives, as well as their special long life battery (to be purchased separately). And apparently they may have dimmed the screen. But I could live with that for a battery life of more than 20 hours. A couple of other friendly features - apparently it meets military standards for dropping from 30 inches (not quite the same as drop-proof, but better than fragile), as well as having a spill resistant keyboard. But the it is the long life battery that I find most impressive.
