Battery for Laptops and Battle For It : Laptops With The Most Juice
Today we will discuss in detail the Battery for Laptops. Walk into any electronics store, and you will be greeted with a sea of laptops, lids open and screaming for your attention. Festooned with stickers and slick signs, laptops proudly boast their internal specifications.
Hexa-core processors, gigabytes and gigabytes of fast ram, and GPUs that rival a desktop PC, are all big draws for a potential laptop purchaser.
While plugged into the store’s power, running exciting demo software, any laptop has the chance to impress, but all this power is nothing without the battery life to back it up. What good is an i9 with 32gb of ram if your battery only lasts a few hours?
To determine which laptop has the most juice, I have run countless laptops through a grueling battery test and have found most competitors lacking. Luckily there are a few laptops with the endurance to keep computing all day long.
My testing included some light web browsing, watching an HD video on a loop and playing some browser-based games (yes I have a really hard job).
I haven’t just picked the five best-scoring laptops, I have tried to pick five with great battery life while offering something else unique or useful. There is a long-lasting laptop for everyone, not just power users.
List of Good Companies with High-Efficiency Battery for Laptops
Dell Latitude 7400
Dell Latitude 7400 Specifications
Ok, let’s get this out the way, the Latitude 7400 is not a very pretty machine, its what you would generously call “boring” On paper it has a decent spec list and should serve you well as a laptop for work, just don’t expect to turn any heads.
While it’s no Microsoft Surface Laptop in terms of design or portability, its battery life proved to be absolutely amazing. I got nearly 14 hours of use out of this machine; this homely laptop scored the top spot on my list.
CPU: Intel Core i7-8665U.
GPU: Intel UHD 620.
RAM: 16GB (up to 32GB)
Display: 14-inch, 1080p
Size: 12.7 x 8.4 x 0.7 inches.
Weight: 3.6 pounds.
Storage: 512GB (upgradeable to 1TB)
Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 15”
Speaking of the surface laptop, this has to be one of the best-looking machines on the market. Improving on previous models, the Microsoft Surface 3 in matte black looks impossibly thin, considering its spec sheet, the machine feels incredibly light too.
With AMD’s newest CPU and GPU technology powering the show, the surface laptop 3 is well suited to all manner of computing tasks.
My testing saw the surface laptop fall shy of Microsoft’s claimed battery life of 13 hours, with a still mightily respectable 10.5 hours, enough to get you through a day of school or work in style. I love the keyboard on the surface laptop, and after some testing, I could picture one fitting nicely into my work life.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9
GPU: AMD Vega 9
RAM: 8gb up to 32GB
Display: 15inch UHD
Size: 13.4 x 9.6 x 0.57 inches.

Dell XPS 15
Yes, this is last year’s model. Why am I included on this list? I believe this is one of the best laptops money can buy, and ill tell you why: It has the perfect blend of style, power, and battery life. While the 2019 model sports a gorgeous 4k OLED screen, its powerful components, and power-hungry screen are battery-eating monsters.
The XPS 15 9570 has all the performance a creative professional would need in a slim and well-connected package. The battery life as tested was 12 hours, which is almost as long as the winner of this roundup, the dells latitude 7400, with so much power under the hood, that’s incredible.
Dell XPS 15 Specifications
CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H.
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.

Size: 14.1 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches.
Weight: 3.6 pounds.
Storage: 256GB NVMe drive
Apple MacBook Pro 16”
This is the laptop I have been waiting for. Apple finally returns to its roots with a laptop for the creative professional who is constantly on the move. The new MacBook Pro is fast as it is beautiful, with one of the best screens in the business and a spec list as impressive as any computer on the market.
The keyboard is a return to form for Apple (all writers rejoice!) The most impressive thing about this machine is its battery life. Apple claims up to 11 hours, I got 9, which is still impressive when you consider the components inside.
Apple MacBook Pro 16” Specifications
CPU: 9th generation Intel i7 or i9
GPU: Radeon Pro 5300m/5500m
RAM: 16GB (up to 64gb)
Display: 15.6-inch, 1080p
Size: 14.1 x 9.7 x 0.64 inches.
Weight: 3.6 pounds.
Storage: 512GB/1TB
Samsung Chromebook 3
I have tried to include variety in this list, with a mix of flagship powerhouses and everyday work laptops. One way to reduce power drain is to reduce voltage and clock speeds, some times you just need a simple laptop to write up an email or browse the web, that’s where the Samsung Chromebook 3 shines.
Small and adequately powered, this little beauty would be perfect for a student and has a surprisingly nice screen. This machine can be found south of $300 and with 9-hour battery life, it represents amazing value. There are many laptops in the “netbook” category, but the Samsung Chromebook 3 is the best of the bunch.
Consumers are always hungry for more power, more screen, more features, and now, more battery life. How a laptop battery performs is just as important as the performance of the CPU or GPU.
You don’t have to spend thousands on a machine to get 10 hours plus battery life, batteries have become more efficient, and use all manner of software trickery to keep the juice flowing.
Samsung Chrome Book 3 Specifications
CPU: Celeron N3060
GPU: Intel HD 400
RAM: 4GB
Display: 11 inch
Size: 11.4 x 8 x 0.7 inches.
