HP Breaks the 24-Hour Notebook Battery Life Barrier
« on: September 11, 2008, 07:54:14 AM »

Holy moly, talk about being charged up! HP claims its new EliteBook 6930p can deliver up to 24 hours of battery runtime, or 5 hours longer than Dell's Latitude E6400, provided it comes equipped with an optional ultra-capacity battery.

“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.”.

Heh man good question! I'd guess (hope) that it'd be able to charge while you sleep. But I'd find it hard to believe that charging for 8 hours would allow for a 24 hour use.
