At 64.5Whr, the battery capacity of the HP Spectre X360 15.6” is quite good, but some 15.6” laptops have even bigger capacities: the Dell 9550 features an 84Whr battery while the ASUS UX501VW has a 96Whr battery. While this is impressive, you should also keep in mind that their platform (CPU+GPU) does consume more power than the X360’s.
If you look at how big the battery is, relative to the size of the laptop, the Dell XPS 15 9550 easily takes the lead, with the Lenovo landing way behind.

The HP Spectre X360 has a unique positioning in the 15.6” 4K Market because it is not assumed to be a "gaming” laptop or a "workstation” of sorts. It can be an excellent productivity computer with a leading edge all-metal design that is small, nice, and (relatively) affordable in that segment.
Because it is aimed to be a productivity and entertainment system, it can use low-power components which will make the most of its sizeable battery capacity. Its 360-degree design makes it the best entertainment laptop of this group. And all that comes at a competitive price.

The Dell XPS 15 (model 9550) is the only computer that challenges the HP Spectre X360 design head-on. It is superior to the HP Spectre X360 in some ways, but you lose the 360-degree swivel capability and the price difference is quite steep. You would need to take a good look at whether or not you need the extra performance, and battery capacity — many people don’t.
We have been impressed with the build quality, and overall value proposition of the HP Spectre X360, and think that it is an ideal system to entertain and get some work done for a vast group of PC users.
Amazon’s new Kindle, the Kindle Oasis is the company’s most daring Kindle yet. With an all-new design and a strange new cover, here’s what you need to know.

This week, after a few leaks on the organization’s various international sites, Amazon announced a new Kindle. Unlike the previous generations, this model isn’t an iterative device, created by making the last year’s Kindle just a little bit better.

No, the Kindle Oasis features a wildly different design. most notably, the new Kindle is much thinner than previous editions, with a taper across the rear of the device; the thinnest part measures just 3.3mm thick, or less than half the thickness of a new iPhone. The battery is stuffed into the right side of the Kindle, creating a hump that makes the device easier to hold.

Perhaps the most important question to ask about the new Kindle Oasis is: how much does it cost. In this respect, the Oasis has much more in common with the Kindles of old than it does with today’s affordable models. Amazon is pricing it at $310 for the base model. An optional 3G model is available for an additional $70 more.

In Canada, you can expect to pay $399 for the Kindle Oasis with Wi-Fi, and $499 for the Oasis with both Wi-Fi and 3G. In the U.S., you can save $20 off of the high price by accepting Amazon’s "Special Offers” functionality, which puts ads onto your device’s lock screen and a few other areas.The Special Offers sound like a frustrating experience, but on the e-ink Kindles, they’re really not so bad – if you’re an Amazon fan, you may actually like the functionality, since Amazon often extends some pretty attractive deals to those who agree to its advertising.

You can pre-order the new Kindle starting today. Amazon isn’t officially releasing the new models until April 27th, which is two weeks from now. If you pre-order either the Wi-Fi or 3G models right now, your device should ship by the 27th (Amazon hasn’t said whether they’ll ship earlier so that you get your Kindle on the 27th).

Twelve magnets are built into the cover, making it very secure – this Kindle isn’t going to pop out of its case – while giving you the ability to easily remove it if you want to use a lighter Kindle around the house. Much like the iPad, when the case attached to the device, you can wake up and put your Kindle to sleep just by opening and shutting the cover.

This new battery cover doesn’t seem to be able to charge on its own, meaning you’ll need to put it on the Kindle and plug that in, at which point both batteries will be charged. Having said that, you shouldn’t need to charge either battery very often; in addition to the 20 months of standby battery life that Amazon is estimating, a new hibernation mode will drop your battery use even more when you aren’t reading.

In the box, all you’ll get is the Kindle, battery cover, and a USB 2.0 charging cable. Amazon suggests picking up an overpriced, $20 USB charger when you check out, but you can use any of the chargers you got with your iPhone, iPad, or Android device – or just charge it on your computer.

With the introduction of the new Kindle Oasis, Amazon now has Kindles available at a range of price points. You can pick up the base model, which still gets you weeks of battery life, for just $100, the Kindle Paperwhite costs $140, the Kindle Voyage costs $220, and the Oasis is $310 (Amazon lists the default price as including Special Offers, which drops the price by $20 on each model).

Note: the weight in the above table doesn’t include the Kindle Oasis battery cover: that adds an extra 107g, making the weight of the Oasis plus cover a whopping 240g, or the heaviest Kindle in the lineup. Battery life is estimated with a daily reading time of 30 minutes; depending on how often you use the backlight or wireless access, your battery life might be lower.

The world of business-class notebook PCs used to follow a simple rule: You can have a powerful notebook with lots of ports or you can have a thin and light notebook … but you can’t have both at the same time. That old notion might just be a matter of history thanks to the Lenovo ThinkPad T460s. This business-class Ultrabook is 0.8 pounds lighter and and 0.09 inches thinner than last year’s impressive ThinkPad T450s and still manages to deliver outstanding performance for a 14-inch business laptop. Unfortunately, the new ThinkPad T460s only manages that impressive weight loss by dropping its predecessor’s best-in-class battery life. Keep reading to find out if a weaker built-in battery is a fair price for notebook with a more travel-friendly size.

Lenovo once again managed to deliver a premium 14-inch business laptop by which most others will be judged. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad T460s doesn’t completely leapfrog its predecessor … and that is a potential problem for customers. Yes, the "road warriors” who frequently depend on ThinkPads appreciate thinner and lighter notebooks. Despite that fact, we doubt those same business travelers appreciate loosing the option to keep their notebooks running for an extra four hours or more.

Does the ThinkPad T460s deliver horrible battery life? No. Does the ThinkPad T460s deliver best-in-class battery life like its predecessor? No.What Lenovo provides with the T460s is a thin-and-light business laptop with better-than-average performance and a solid variety of ports with the ability to expand those ports with a docking station. Unfortunately, we lost the flexibility to extend the battery-life into what is truly the realm of "all-day battery life.” This might not bother us if the T460s delivered an extra 60-90 minutes of battery life compared to the standard 3-cell removable battery in the T450s, but that isn’t the case here.

If you’re willing to overlook the average battery life you won’t be disappointed by the combination of impressive CPU and SSD performance (better than its predecessor) with a beautiful display inside an thin and light chassis. Lenovo came remarkably close to hitting another home run with the ThinkPad T460s. Unfortunately, we just can’t forget the battery life grand slam Lenovo delivered previously in the form of the ThinkPad T450s.

To rival Apple’s MacBook Pro 2016 line-up, Microsoft is rumoured to unveil the next iteration of its popular Surface Pro 4 as early as July. The new Surface Pro 5 may also be accompanied by the next generation of Surface Book.However, the Redmond-based tech giant has not yet announced the official release date of Surface Pro 5 and Surface Book 2. Here’s roundup of expected specs and features of the rumoured Surface Pro 5.

According to Patently Mobile, a patent application published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revealed that Microsoft is working on a rechargeable Surface Pen and Surface Dock."A charging circuit within the stylus may provide charging current for recharging the battery ,” as noted by Microsoft in the patent application. Schematic drawings also show a stylus with on/off button, charging terminal and indicator light. The stylus of the current Surface Pro 4 works with either a button cell a triple A battery.

Rumours are rife that Microsoft will use Intel’s 7th generation of Kaby Lake processor for the new Surface Pro 5, instead of Skylake chipset which powers its predecessor. The new processor is also believed to enhance battery life of the laptop-hybrid device.
