LG’s laptop probably will last quite a bit longer than the previous version. The company says it used carbon nanotube technology to create a 60Wh battery - nearly double the capacity of the previous 34.6Wh pack, and bigger than the one in Apple ’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro - without increasing the laptop’s incredibly light weight of about 2.1 pounds ( about 0.9 kilograms) .
They’re a little bit thicker ( 0.61 inches for the 13-inch model, compared to 0.5 inches for last year’s 14-incher) , but it sounds like a feat.
And LG does say that when it used a newer benchmark ( MobileMark 14) , the company still got as many as 17 hours on a charge - which sounds pretty great. But we’ll still need to test it. Don’t know about you, but I have a tough time trusting companies that use decade-old benchmarks.
