What. The. Fuck. HOW?!?! It's just beyond.... wow..... fuck. Nothing is even close. NOTHING!
Now imagine if they didn't make it stupendously thin, and added a larger battery
infinite battery life

Like putting similar battery technology in something the size of a (non retina) MacBook Pro. 20 hours is easily possible.

I'd like to see what their battery test consists of. I'm getting 10-11 hours on mine.

Not to trample on the Macbook Air (15 hours is amazing), but their tests probably consists of doing a lot of nothing, in which situation Haswell power states [I]really[/I] help out. If we were looking at a creativity suite (video, image editing) we'd probably see less drastic improvements.
Can't find anything to verify how they check battery life (on Macs), though. Anandtech did a review of a Haswell (i7) based S7, which they compared to the Sandy Bridge version: [url]http://www.anandtech.com/show/7047/the-haswell-ultrabook-review-core-i74500u-tested/5[/url]
The S7 (albeit with an i5) is also in PCMag's article, and if we go by the high rating (why they have two numbers, I really have no idea) and compare it to Anandtech's review, the Haswell based version should clock in at about 11 hours. Anandtech's review shows improvements in the Creativity Suite, though, and they should be a lot less drastic than when under idle. Even when we account for that, Apple must've done some driver magic to get to 15 hours. Or a bigger battery, that's also a possibility. Probably both.

This sounds a lot more like it. Still fantastic.
why are you doing heavy video and image editing and rendering on a macbook air running on battery

While that is a valid question, I've already seen that basic image editing and basic video editing is perfectly doable on this thing.

Still, I'd love to see what kind of battery live Mavericks is gonna bring to the MBA.
I don't think photojouranlists do heavy video editing. Basic purposes (like basic photo editing and writing an article) doesn't require a lot of proccesor power.
[QUOTE=Generic Monk;41067369]why are you doing heavy video and image editing and rendering on a macbook air running on battery[/QUOTE]
How much of the time are you going to just let your computer sit there doing nothing? I'm not talking about heavy video and image editing, just stuff that requires that the CPU isn't in the lowest power state at all times. It's a better way to measure battery performance, especially when you're comparing between two generations of CPUs where the biggest improvement [I]is[/I] idle power. You'll end up with a skewed picture of actual efficiency.
That's why Apple says exactly how they do their battery tests on their website.

I sincerely hope anybody doing photo and video editing doesn't use a MacBook Air. You'll get way better results with a Zenbook or MacBook Pro.

This was about PCMag's test, I think Apple is pretty spot on with 12 hours when it comes to regular usage.
What if they stuck MBA hardware in a MBP case and just filled it with battery. All week computing.

Nono, I understood. I was just agreeing with you and saying that Apple gives an idea of how long it lasts actually doing something, while the PCmag test sounds like they left it pretty much idle.

Should put a better screen in there as well.
fucking
HOW do i transfer books (.fb2) to an ipad??
this itunes thing is the most atrocious application I've ever used

If you put a better screen in there, you cut down your battery life.
oled screen.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;41069258']oled screen.[/QUOTE]
Far from perfect. I own two OLED devices (Vita and GNote 2) and splotching is noticeable.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;41069258']oled screen.[/QUOTE]
Do any laptops use OLED right now? I can't think of any...
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;41069258']oled screen.[/QUOTE]
Uses more than IPS in typical scenarios.

Not really. What kills your battery life is the saturation.
Btw, I can confirm Engadget really was testing the battery by having it do nothing. 90% battery and istat menus predicts a 14 hour usage. Well done.

Engadget loops video at 50% brightness (which in itself is a flawed method), this was PCMag.
Wait, that was PCMag, I'm fucking retarded.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;41078297]Engadget loops video at 50% brightness (which in itself is a flawed method), this was PCMag.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Apple tests at 50% for mobile and for the mba it's 75%. For a laptop you're meant to bring places, you'll need more than 50% since that's like ~200cd/m2 which is too low unless you have proper lighting.
Personally I like the new Mac Pro, in terms of its design and features! It makes my custom built PC I built last year look like nothing in comparison... I wish I could afford a decent spec mac =( !
Can't believe I never noticed that the clock icon is dynamic in ios7.
