Every time we look for a laptop to purchase we first go for the technical specifications like screen size, memory, processing speed, etc. but we miss out on the one most crucial information which makes a laptop, laptop otherwise it would be desktop. That’s right folks; I am talking about battery life of laptops.
Let me present you with the top 5 laptops with best battery life for 2019.
Why is battery life more important than screen size, processing power or number of ports? A laptop battery should be the first thing laptop buyers must think about before making a purchase. After all, you don’t want your laptop shutting down in the middle of a Netflix binge when traveling or presenting a PowerPoint show in a long company meeting.
Once upon a time, Apple’s MacBooks were the leaders of this chart, but recently things have certainly changed. Other brands like LG, Lenovo, Asus and Samsung have shown some real advancement in battery life for their laptops.
The following results are based on the extensive battery testing conducted on laptop battery and ac adapters. These laptops are the ones with the longest battery-life that we’ve seen over the year. The top 5 current performers are below.
Top 5 Battery Life Laptops
1. LG Gram 15 – 13 hours, 58 minutes
LG’s Gram series is best known for being very light, and the 15-inch LG Gram 15 is no exception at 2.5 pounds (even slim 15-inch laptops are usually over 4 pounds). But besides that, it ran for almost 14 hours, which is exceptionally good. A 15-inch body helps to make room for a larger battery.
2. Asus NovaGo – 13 hours, 12 minutes
The Asus NovaGo makes good use of its Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor for long battery life and always-on cellular. This comes with a disadvantage as the performance feels more like a phone than laptop. And keep in mind, battery life isn’t everything. The Snapdragon-based Asus NovaGo lasts all day, but you can feel it made too many compromises to get there.
3. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon – 13 hours, 7 minutes
This laptop comes with HDR support and Alexa integration, last year’s X1 Carbon update also scored for major battery life.
4. LG Gram 14 2-in-1 – 12 hours, 35 minutes
The LG Gram 14 2-in-1 laptop is just 2.5 pounds. It is an ultralight pen-enabled convertible with an extraordinary battery life for its class.
5. Samsung Notebook 9 Pro – 12 hours, 30 minutes
When battery is in question looks won’t matter and here is the same case. The design can’t be considered as one of the best out there, but the 2019 Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is a thin, lightweight two-in-one with extra-long battery life, plus better performance for its size.
