#ThinkPad X100e Battery Life

Lenovo's latest ultraportable is the ThinkPad X100e, set to be launched in the Philippines this February 3. A ThinkPad under Php30k is unheard of so we check out if the X100e is worth all that wait. The ThinkPad X100e comes in different flavors -- the one I had was a single core AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 which runs at 1.6GHz. One of the main highlights of the headphones is battery life. Battery life reaches up to 8 hours per charge with ANC turned off, or up to 5 hours with ANC enabled. The Core i5 processor used in this unit is pretty interesting -- an ultra-low voltage dual core (with HyperThreading) running at 1.33GHz that can Turbo Boost to 1.87GHz which consumes less power to help increase battery life.

BatteryBar gave a decent rating of 3 hours 40 minutes full lifetime.
