12 hours of battery in a high-end laptop? Asus says yes

The Taiwanese company has exhibited at the fair in Las Vegas UL80JT model that includes an Intel Core i7 and a dedicated graphics NVIDIA GeForce 310, which extends the range up to 12 hours of use, outstanding for a high end laptop. Obviously, the secret is in using energy efficiency components and intelligent. Balancing power and autonomy of laptops is one of the biggest challenges facing manufacturers. The increased capacity and improved battery helps but not enough, meeting with high-end equipment whose autonomy does not exceed two hours. Some manufacturers such as Apple's MacBook Pro improves autonomy for example using the integrated graphics and dedicated interchangeably, although it is the user must change the settings. ASUS goes beyond the UL80JT as energy management will be performed intelligently by the team but transparent to the user including a widget on your desktop in real time to inform the processor or graphics use.
