Considering a laptop can be at most 100Wh for US air travel - I doubt you'll see 50 hours anytime soon. That would mean the display is drawing less than 2 watts

Considering a laptop can be at most 100Wh for US air travel - I doubt you'll see 50 hours anytime soon. That would mean the display is drawing less than 2 watts of energy while the rest of the system is near 0. Typical displays apparently use 2 watts - https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-low-power-display-technology/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-low-power-disp... If Intel released a 1-watt display then we might see the 50-hour level reached but that's going to only be on really light workloads. (Light text editing? Playing back a special low-power-codec video?)
- dr_zoidberg 6y agoRight on point with your considerations, both on maximum battery capacity and the display being a large factor un notebook battery life. Battery capacity can't be expanded, since it's regulation and we're tied to it. Don't really know what drives display power consumption and how it could be improved to get better battery life.
