How long it lasts on a charge obviously depends on what you're doing with it. Normalizing for performance gives you the efficiency of the system for getting work done.
Compiling/testing software is part of my job, so whether a laptop can complete 200 compiles on battery power or 500 is something I care about. If you only care about how long a laptop can idle for under battery you might as well take a screenshot, print it out and you've got yourself a couple thousand years of 'battery life'.
- analognoise 6y agoGood point, but by context, wasn't GP talking about the same load? If somebody says "The battery performance is poor" I don't assume they go from compiling all day to writing in Notepad when making the comparison - I assumed they meant "For the work the laptop was purchased for".
