You're being very optimistic if you expect 6 hours!

I had an HP laptop running Windows 7, and 2-3 hours was typical.

I guess so. I never expected that to be the case. Not to say that I expected machines to run for hours and hours.

A wind-up?! Now that would save on batteries!



Are you sure the tablet battery holds more charge than the laptop? Chances are that the power-consumption of the tablet is less than the laptop, so the fully-charged tablet may well work for longer than the fully-charged laptop, even though the laptop battery can hold more charge.

I'm not sure at all. It's just how it seemed to me.

Anyone know if those laptop cooling pads are any good? This thing does heat up a bit when all guns are blazing!

Perhaps you should compare the battery discharge rate with an apple watch, but don't expect it to wake you up for breakfast if you don't plug it in before lunchtime.
IMCO this thread is a windup
