Long Battery Life: An Absolute Must
Whether you’re a student that needs to take your laptop to class or an avid MMO gamer, the length of battery life is often considered first before purchase. Thankfully, technology has progressed to a point where laptops have larger batteries to last longer than 8 hours. Even though these don’t last longer than 24 hours like some smartphones, they’ll still require fewer charging periods.
Breakdown by Brand
Certainly, there are a handful of brands that produce long-lasting batteries, high-performing laptops. However, there are two brands that are most prominent. Acer and Dell have, in several articles, had two or more laptops in the top rankings.
In Conclusion
Ultimately, you may have other features or functions that rank higher, but the longer lasting battery, the fewer times you get interrupted in a Netflix binge or while taking notes.
