The display technology and effect that it has on the performance of the battery and the computer overall is key. As the display size goes up the power consumption increases, and also the brighter the display is then the lower the battery life. The kind of graphics performance that’s needed is also important. That all relates to the type of processor that’s used in the computer. An ultra low voltage processor, for example, has lower power consumption than a full voltage processor and is typically deployed in environments where mobility is needed and there’s no external power source available.
