The battery inside the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 is a 48 Wh unit, which is quite small.
To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.
One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with two thirds screen brightness.
Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless was enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.
Lastly as a gamer, playing Left4Dead until the machine turned itself off.
Battery life is actually quite good, especially for general office duties and surfing. We achieved a maximum of just over 6 hours when used solely as a ‘business' machine, which is impressive. When watching high definition movies, the battery life dropped to just over 2 hours and 30 minutes. When gaming in Left4Dead2, the battery died at around 1 hour and 45 minutes.
I love their keyboards too, my boss has one in work (not sure of the model number, but the keyboard is fantastic).
id rather have a less powerful laptop with a great screen and keyboard rather than the latest processor.
I hate the idea of the battery being inside the chassis. never liked that idea.
I like the look of their new carbon X1. I bought the original X1 on your review last time and I think its almost perfect. If they improve the screen on the carbon version im flogging mine off and upgrading to the new one.
WOW, that thing is thicker than the power brick LOL
