It had a crazy battery time. 10+ hours.
- 1MachineElf 5y agoI'm amazed. I recall the mid-2012 Macbook[0] also had 10 hours of battery life, but I didn't know the same feat had been achieved by earlier Apple laptops. [0] https://support.apple.com/kb/sp584?locale=en_US https://support.apple.com/kb/sp584?locale=en_US
- jeffbee 5y agoEverymac lists its battery life claim at 6 hours. I don't remember it being that great, despite the fact that these old books weighed as much as three modern laptops.
- don-code 5y agoI got to liquidate a broken stack of these back in the late 2000s. For some reason I couldn't get one of them to power off, so I pulled the power cable and waited. Then I went to class. Four hours later, I came back home, and the thing was still running. You could argue that it was just sitting at the folder-question-mark icon and doing nothing useful, but I'm assuming that it also meant no power saving features were enabled by the kernel (at least, that's how it works in the PC world - I was quickly disparaged of the notion that running DOS instead of Windows 98 just for my text editor would give me better battery life).
