Correctly observing that someone is making false claims due to their allegiance to a brand name is not a personal attack. . > they are still quite significantly faster for an ultrabook The benchmarks do not support this claim. . > and they do deliver the battery life. Tom's hardware has them at 14 hours, the Surface Laptop at 17. Tom's hardware also says the Surface Laptop is faster. There are Lenovos with 35 hour battery life. 14 hours is pretty standard. The flagships of HP, Dell, Lenovo, and MSI also all do 15-17 hours. Apple's actually slightly behind the pack here. Please note that battery life and CPU power are inversely correlated; you'll never find a laptop that's good with both, and if someone's telling you they have, they're lying to you It's like saying that the car that delivers the most horsepower also uses the least gas. No, it doesn't, and you should know that. In reality, these are both average middle of the road machines. They aren't particularly powerful when compared to one of MSI's beasts, and they aren't particularly battery lived when compared to one of those glorified tablets you can get. . > could intel or amd or OEMs achieve the performance to power ration soon ? They did five years ago, according to the measurements and evidence. I have never shopped for laptops according to their "performance power ratio." |
