Top 3 Long Life Laptops
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Sep 27, 2006

Fujitsu Lifebook P7120

This laptop seems to have become a permanent fixture in most roundups. Fujitsu really hit the sweet spot with this notebook. Featuring a fairly competent Pentium M 753 processor and 512 MB of system memory the notebook does not skimp on features. A 10.6 backlit widescreen LCD and a full-featured keyboard with excellent tactile keypad along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes this laptop the standard for others to follow.

Battery life on the notebook? This is one thing I can’t just stop raving about. Thanks to its modest processor which is very power-efficient the notebook is able to offer an incredible 7 hours of battery life on a single charge. Throw in the fact that the DVD-ROM can be swapped out for a second battery and you get an incredible 11 hours of battery life on the go. This kind of battery life is just totally unmatched and you will be hard-pressed to find a laptop that comes with so many features. All the battery life does come at a cost though. It retails at Rs 1,10,000 which is quite a huge amount but if long life is what drives you, then the cost should not be a deterrent.


Acer Travelmate 3012WTMi

Acer for long has made some of the best laptops in terms of battery life and features. The Travelmate 3012WTMi is therefore no exception to this. It has a powerful core-duo T2300 processor along with 512 Mb of system memory and storage space of 80 GB. Similar to the other products in this roundup the screen on this laptop is a 12.1 inch LCD panel. What sets it apart from the others in this roundup is the enhanced resolution of 1280x800 which offers more screen space as compared to the others. Peripherals and connectivity is a no-brainer in this laptop as it offers all the standards you can dream of from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi and even an infra-red port. It even offers an integrated 1.3 MP cam alongside an optional VoIP phone that allows excellent video-conferencing features.

The battery life of this laptop is pretty good with over 5 ½ hours available on a single charge on the standard 6 cell battery. It also offers a choice of a smaller 3-cell battery which will further increase the battery life by 90 mins after the main battery runs out. While that may seem like average as compared to some of the other products in this lineup a unique feature in this laptop is the really rapid charging that be done with 80 percent of the battery fully charged in around 75 mins. Priced at Rs 82,350 this notebook is an extremely good buy thanks to its strong processor system, excellent screen resolution and above par battery life.
