Sind die Macbooks schon penrybooks ?

Zitat von ccr

Die Penryn laufen bis zu 10% länger als Memrons, und sind rund 5% schneller. Ausserdem sind sie kühler.

Spec sheet aside, we tested the X61s in the “real world” and found that when performing rudimentary office tasks such as e-mail, web surfing, and listening to music, its 8-cell battery was able to squeeze out 3 hours and 50 minutes of battery life at half brightness, which is decent, but not even close to the battery’s reported 8-hour life. Perhaps if we just turned it on, but didn’t use it for anything, we could achieve the reported battery life.

What is most likely is that Lenovo is taking something called Battery Stretch into account, which can be enabled when the battery gets low. It puts the notebook into ultra-low power usage mode, dimming the display, shutting off the wireless radio, and so forth. We enabled it when our battery got down to 10 percent, and it claimed we’d be able to work for another 49 minutes on just that amount of juice, which is impressive. However, not being able to access the internet, hear audio, or use an optical drive makes this mode impractical for work scenarios. It would be useful in an emergency, though.

Users buying the X61 intend to take it with them, which makes battery life of paramount importance. There are three battery options for the x61(s): a slim four cell, an enhanced four cell and an eight cell battery. The review unit came with the larger eight cell battery. It was both a blessing and a curse. Equipped with larger eight cell battery, battery life was nothing short of spectacular. Setting the screen to 7/15, the CPU to Low in Power Manager and WiFi on, I was able to get six hours and thirty-three minutes of battery life doing things like working on the review, editing photos and Internet. Testing it was the curse. I personally found sitting at the PC for that amount of time difficult. I did periodically get up to stretch or do other things, ensuring the screen remained on while I was away. If you were to dim the screen more which I think is doable or turn WiFi off, you could get even better results. In addition to sticking out the back and adding about a half pound of weight, the larger battery also raises the bottom of the X61s a bit, not as much as say the HP dv2500, but worth mentioning. The X61s also employs a new battery saving software called Battery Stretch.

und du würdest trotzdem den penryn nehmen, wie aus vorigen posts ersichtlich?

ich kann mich auch absolut nicht entscheiden und würd gern wissen, wer sich für und gegen penryn entschieden hat und vorallem warum?

akkulaufzeit wär schon sehr wichtig.
was mich noch verwirrt....das s steht ja für slim...laut thinkpad-forum sollen diese geräte etwas leichter sein und die displays etwas dünner (einen hauch zumindest)...laut ubook detail seite haben aber sowohl das x61s als auch das x61 genau dieselben abmessungen etc.
