I think what people should be more focused on isn't how long the battery lasts in one use, but how many years the battery will last while still getting a full charge.

My Dell laptop battery used to get me about 4.5 hours (undervolted) of battery life when I used to use it in class, but now it lasts maybe 2 hours at most. I've actually had the battery die on me by leaving it in sleep mode for a day.

Awesome. It would seem AMD is truly dead. That or they're hiding in the shadows and lurking.

By the way... I thought AMD was the "cheaper" and "better" processor?

They're lagging intel but not by a huge amount of time.

@SSJCrow: Dunno about Diablo 3, but Starcraft 2, damn, I've been waiting for that forever! Message to Blizzard employees: QUIT WASTING YOUR TIME ON WOW! GO BACK TO WORK!

@waza0: I thought Intel made it clear they won't be be working on anything less then 4 cores from now on so this comes as a surprise to me.

*** Core i7 is a solid platform. I went i7 because didn't want to have to re-buy my motherboard for a while.
