Lenovo 3000 C200 Battery

Even more impressively, the XPS 15 claims up to 18 hours of battery life. There are a few downgrades you need to make that happen, such as a 1080P non touch screen, but that is still very impressive.When it comes to laptops you laptops you can actually buy (and we have tested), the Toshiba Portege Z20t has one of the longest real world battery life.

Clocking in at 17 hours, the convertible manages 9 hours from the tablet side, while the keyboard boosts that another 8 hours.

The Z20t owes its longevity to an efficient Core M CPU, as well as a 1080P screen.

In real world tests we could just hit the 17 hours if we were careful, but for more intensive use, closer to 15 was the norm.

Almost all new laptops these days have built in batteries that canâ€™t be swapped out. Not the Lenovo Thinkpad range though, with two of the longest life models offering removable batteries.

Aimed at business travelers, the laptops actually have an internal battery as well, so you can hot swap the external one without powering off.

The extra batteries come in 3 or 6 cell models, though the latter adds some extra heft.

The ultra portable 12.5â€ X250 is rated for up to 21.4 hours of battery life with the fatter 6-cell option.

The larger 14.5â€ T450s is rated at 19.9 hours with the 6-cell.

Those results are very highly dependent on spec and use, so closer to 16 hours is more realistic. Still, if you are sitting on a plane with no Wi-Fi and the brightness right down, 20 hours is doable.

The Lenovo laptops give an impressive result, but it is worth noting that they are significantly bulkier than some of their slimline cousins that offer similar battery life.

Ignoring the new model and its 18 hour battery life for a moment, the existing Dell XPS 13 has an impressively good 15 hour battery.

And it doesnâ€™t need a Core M CPU either â€“ thatâ€™s based on a Core i5.

Of course you do need to opt for the 1080P screen without touch, but the 4K is overkill and expensive anyway.

With careful use, itâ€™s entirely possible to hit (or even exceed) the 15 hour battery life.

If you tend to run some more intensive programs, or crank the brightness up, then 12 hours is about what you can expect.

Work the little i5 hard and it will drop down to 8 hours or so, but that is still impressive for a highly loaded test.

Finally, Apple unleashed the long awaited "iPad Pro". This 12.9 inch iPad device is no longer like the previous generations of iPads whose focus was on general entertainment and usability. The new "iPad Pro" is now designed to focus on productivity. It functions as a hybrid laptop with better specs to give you the full laptop experience.

Aside from the big 12.9 inch display, the main display of the "iPad Pro" is a 2732 x 2048 resolution which displays 5.6 million pixels. The "iPad Pro" uses A9X chip and Apple's 3rd gen 64 bit chip. These specifications of the "iPad Pro" makes the device around 80% faster than most laptops and it is also almost two times faster in rendering graphics than many laptops.

iPad Pro Battery

The new Apple device features a battery that can last for a long ten hours with only one charging. This is not bad for a tab/laptop hybrid. We've known iPad devices to have great battery life and it's good to know that the higher model that is the "iPad Pro" can keep up to that standard.

iPad Pro Colors

The "iPad Pro" will come in three typical Apple colors - gold, space grey, and silver. The color options are one good news considering that the usual iPad colors that we see are the white and black.

iPad Pro Competitions

As stunning as the "iPad Pro" is, it is not alone in what it offers. Competitions such as the "Surface Pro 3," "Ideapad Miix 7000," and the "Pixel C" are all good hybrid laptops as well. In fact, good words have been heard about the Surface Pro 3.

iPad Pro Accessories

The "Apple Pencil" is one thing to be excited about in the "iPad Pro". It features Force Touch which gives it the ability to understand pressure, angling, and any other writing complexities. The pencil is said to be able to stay charged for one hour, but can also be charged via the iPad itself using a lightning cable.

The Smart Keyboard is another thing that the "iPad Pro" can work with. It is an optional accessory that connects to the device through a connector and it carries power through magnetic connections.

iPad Pro Storage

The "iPad Pro" will begin at 32 GB, up to 128 GB. Some may think that the 128 GB max storage of Apple devices may no longer be enough with the high spec'd "iPad Pro", but so far that is all that's offered.
