12 hours of battery life on something that size and weight is a joke. What did they fill the rest of the chassis with, concrete?

- amlib 2y agoThey filled it with the same dense material that is in your head.
- hypercube33 2y agoSteel or composite. they are extremely modular and built to pound nails in for 300lb gorillas in work vehicles and still boot up the next day. If they are used to dig a hole you can hose them off as they are generally some level of water or chemical proof. military, construction, field techs, police, EMT, contractors, mechanics and vehicles like semis and forklifts.
- tengbretson 2y agoI'm aware that it's chassis is made from tough materials, and I even know what steel is. My point is that a 0.6" thick laptop[1] with the same processor boasts 18 hours of battery life as the standard capacity. Unless you're alleging that there is a 1.5" steel plate in that thing somewhere, I suspect theres some room in that 2.1" that could fit a better battery.

- seabird 2y agoThat space is being taken up to deal with stricter thermal, dust, moisture, RF, shock, vibration, etc. requirements. It'll run on one battery while you change the low one. I really hope you're kidding trying to draw any comparison to a Surface laptop.
