Question by Daniel L: will my new laptop get 6 or little more batter life with new os windows 7?
Ok…i bought my very new toshiba labtop in march 2009
the specs are.:
Intel core 2 duo processor 2.0GHz 800FSB, 320GB SATA hard drive 2.5 form factor, 4GB DDR2 800 ram, 14.1 in. screen, and a 9 cell orginal toshiba battery.
I curretly have windows vista ultimate sp2 on my computer and eversince i bought my laptop i been getting ton of hours on my battery after full charge.. 5 hours and 30 minutes.
I been reading articles on the internet.. ie.: google “windows 7″ on the future release windows 7 “vista successor” and it said it will be energy effiencient and consume less battery power.
So, my question is, will my laptop also increase battery life from current 5 and a half hours with vista ultimate sp2 to about 6 hours to little more?
Thanks

Until the final release, that is impossible to know. The current versions of Windows 7 are not final copies. Just like Longhorn was not a final copy of Vista. Vista runs different then Longhorn did because they changed things in it before it was finalized. You will just have to wait and see. It will also depend on how you use the system, because the energy saving features may not agree with how you use your system. For example, Windows 7 may try to turn off your wifi when you aren’t using it. This would indeed save power, but if you want instant messages or updates, you need that connection.
