24 Hour Laptops From HP?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'll-believe-it-when-i-can-fly-to-tokyo-and-back dept.

daveyboy79 writes "This article from the BBC shows HP's new laptop, the HP EliteBook 6930p. Configured with several options, such as the 80Gb SSD and the mercury-free LED displays, it allows users to get 24 hours of non-stop computing." The real question is, are we talking 24 hours of word processing? Or 24 hours of actually using your computer?

      [deep-voice] Terrorists have installed a trigger mechanism on a HP EliteBook 6930p, which will detonate when the laptop shuts down or suspends. Now Jack has 24 hours to find the Chinese bad-asses who stole the charger. [/deep-voice]

    >It would be easy to produce a black and white appliance that ran a single light office suite that lasted for more than 24 hours.

    Exactly. Im thinking some kind of ink delivering cylinder that when pressed against "non-e-ink paper" could produce marks which other humans would be able to "read." The life of this setup would last months if not years!

    I like techno. I've found it sets a pace for my typing. Thankfully I've never started typing the words.

    Don't call them "fat", that hurts their feelings. They are just "thick".
