Brad over at Liliputing is done with his review of the highest end dual core Lenovo ThinkPad X100e notebook. It appears the dual core AMD Turion Neo X2 L625 model squeezes out a couple more hours of battery life.
This may be possibly due to a higher capacity battery (63Wh vs 57Wh) and / or the dual core CPUs which have a more efficient power state (or so I hear). He was able to squeeze out 4 -5 hours of battery life.
At the start of this year I reviewed the single core X100e model which was the only one available for several months. Despite decent performance (compared to a netbook), excellent ergonomics (awesome keyboard, trackpad and matte display, casing) and lack of noise, battery life was the poorest on any notebook or netbook I’ve had the pleasure to review. I was only able to get 3 – 4 hours.
Performance wise this dual core model was pretty much on par with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor (except with better graphics performance), something you’d find on a US based ASUS UL20A, for example.
