   My next laptop will definitely be from HP. Sony has lost my respect with the Vaio C series and their lawsuits against GeoHotz.

   They say its a "9-cell (100 WHr) Li-Ion battery" which is interesting. 32 hours is impressive

   When i saw the title i was like "Atom" but a i5 and i7?, i wonder how much will last if i abused on the cpu. But off from that this would be a nice upgrade on the base quality for notebooks *cough hear that SONY*.

   It's only "32 hours" if minimally spec'd and most likely only for the Pro Book... and only in a vacuum AND only at 56.4*F in 4 sessions with 30 minute breaks between as long as you crank the dynamo wheel on the side.

   Fortunately, there's an option to upgrade that to a hamster in a wheel. You can also upgrade to the 64 hour battery, which comes with a second laptop.

   Very interesting laptop. I've never used an HP laptop before, is their touchpad always slightly to the left?

   Make that a human sized wheel, advertise on craigslist that you're running a boot camp, and have people pay you to power your laptop while you surf the web.

   Then buy more laptops and wheels, get some staffers to run the other computers, and you've got a business.

    HP says its only for their EliteBook 8460p and 8560p notebook PCs, even if it is the lowest spec option that's still a Core i3 which is incredible and a little hard to believe at the same time

    32 hours? Wow! I find it's hard to believe, but if it's true (even only half of it) who won't welcome that innovation? I certainly be the first in line.

    From HP's website:

    "Up to 32 hours requires HP 9-cell (100 WHr) Li-Ion primary battery, separately purchased HP BB09 Ultra Extended Life Notebook Battery and customer download of the latest Intel graphics driver and HP BIOS. Notebook must be configured with Intel graphics, optional Intel 160GB SSD drive, HP LED HD Display and requires Windows 7 operating system. Battery life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, loaded applications, features, wireless functionality and power management settings. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and usage."
