New Dell Latitude Notebooks: 19 Hours Long Battery Life!

Buy Dell Latitude Laptops for Long Battery Life
Most laptops have short battery life and you are always busy finding a power source or carrying additional batteries. Dell Latitude notebooks now offer a significant improvement with long battery life up to 19 hours. They have improved battery life on its 6-cell and 9-cell batteries also. Dell’s ControlPoint software allows users to manage battery power, network and connectivity configurations and system security settings easily.
This video shows how they extended the battery life.
Connectivity is essential and all Latitude laptops offer Wi-Fi (802.11n), mobile broadband options, WWAN, Ultra-wideband and Bluetooth 2.1 and most are WiMAX ready. Several have built in security options like smart card and fingerprint readers, hardware-based disk encryption, contactless smart card technology. Dell’s ControlVault solution centralizes user identity key management and storage.
Of course your laptop will work 19 hours only if you squeeze the maximum battery life possible (with lowest performance), but at least the Dell technology has made it possible and we are headed to the future where you really dont need to keep looking for a power source or spare batteries on your 15-hour air flight.

19 Hours is ALOT but one has to wonder.. (like the guy in the video said) they’re using low-power consuming components.. its likely that they might be more sensitive and might burn down faster.. but its a start i guess.. :P on another note.. the notebook looks like a classic dell model =P the same squarish vibe.. good post!
wow… 19 hours is awesome…
19 hours is a really long time and quite frankly all you really need is 15 hours of battery life. I sleep about 9 hours a night and 15 hours of battery life with my laptop would let me work all day from battery power and then charge it at night time. Amazing.
thats a good way of looking at it Michael but taking certain situations into account 19 hours is good.. especially if theres a crises etc.. or an assignment/project due urgently
Very nice, but if you live in Canada, Dell screws you again. They don’t sell the “battery slice” which is required for the full 19 hours to Canadians.
i don’t understand you.. they put a different battery in laptops for you? o.O thats sad
Now all they have to do is make a laptop that won’t crash all the time. Like there current line up.
it seems nice . but with how much weigth ?????
I don’t put much faith in Dell’s battery life claims. The Latitude D620’s and D630’s have good life for the first year then the battery takes a dive and lasts about 15 minutes. I work on the laptops and have seen about 90 of the 120 laptops that were bought last year have severely shortened battery life. Most newer laptops have a battery reconditioning mode or option in the BIOS. Dell does not and they don’t cover the batteries after a year on the 3 year warranty.
who in the world needs 19 hours of battery life i only need like 3 or 4 until i get bored
I dont use my laptop on long journeys because of lack of power source. The longer battey life, the better it is for me.
19 hours would be great. However, 5 or 6 hours in the field at night where temperatures drop to the lower limits of operation can be a challenge for someone doing astrophotography. All the power you can get will be needed to use the computer to autoguide a telescope for astrophotography; read the autoguiding camera; make tracking adjustments to the telescope mount, and collect the data from the main camera on the telescope.
