5 Work Notebooks With 12+ Hours of Battery Life
For some small business owners, long battery life is one of the most important functions of a laptop. If you are a lot of people working for a long time, often away from the power source, and want to have a laptop with the same working hours as you do, this list is for you.
Longest Lasting Business Laptops
Lenovo ThinkPad T470
The Lenovo ThinkPad T470 is a sturdy, powerful work laptop with a superb battery life of more than 17 hours. This laptop was built for business in every way possible, from the comfortable keyboard and sensitive trackpad (and signature bright red TrackPoint pointing stick) to the variety of ports and zippy seventh-generation Core i5 CPU. If you want a classic business workstation that can go the distance, you‘ll like the ThinkPad T470. The only downside to this work–marathon machine is its weight; at 3.49 pounds, it may be a bit too heavy for frequent travelers.
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch
Mac lovers who need extended Apple a1322 laptop battery life should check out the MacBook Air 13-inch. While we don‘t typically recommend older laptop models (this MacBook debuted in 2015), the MacBook Air 13-inch is still on the market and fully supported. It offers real value for money, relative to other Mac laptops, and of course, it loves the MacOS. The battery lasts up to 14 hours on a charge. It sports a solid Intel Core i5 processor, and the luxe look and feel you expect in a Mac.
Lenovo ThinkPad X270
With a full-sized keyboard and that classic Lenovo business look, the ThinkPad X270 is a more portable and lighter (2.98 pounds) alternative to the ThinkPad T470 (3.49 pounds). Despite its lighter weight and more compact size, the ThinkPad X270 has enough power for serious business users, plus an impressive 13.5-hour battery life. The entry–level model is surprisingly affordable at just $881.10, but like all Lenovo machines, it can be decked out and upgraded as much as you like. If you need a little more power or RAM, you can customize that into your machine (for a price).
Dell Latitude 7280
The Dell Latitude 7280 is a bit more expensive than the Lenovo machines on this list, but it also sports a slightly more modern design and a lighter chassis (2.61 pounds). The entry–level machine comes with a little less under the hood in terms of processing power (an Intel Core i3 instead of the Lenovo‘s Intel Core i5), but you can easily upgrade the CPU to something with more horsepower. We measured a battery life of almost 12.5 hours with these specs, so if you‘re in the market for a long-lasting Dell, you should consider this model.
Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS 13 is a popular business laptop with lots of configuration options that offers excellent Dell xps m1530 notebook battery life of 13 hours and 49 minutes. While the base-level laptop has a somewhat unimpressive Core i3 processor, for just $100 more you can upgrade to a Core i5 processor, which is suitable for most business users’ needs. The spacious keyboard is comfortable, even for long typing sessions, and the relatively lightweight design makes this laptop a great fit for on-the-go business travelers.
