What would you do with a laptop that had all-day battery life? Where would you go? What study environment would you choose? Where would you take your work?
While most would probably say the beach, we didnt think sand and water would be a good fit for our new toy (dont get us wrong, we love the beach). So, we took our day out to what we considered the next best thing an amazing view of the ocean from up top.
Wed soak up the sun in this study spot (soon to be mentioned in an upcoming CampusGrotto ranking of the most beautiful study locations) at Pepperdine University with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean.

The new Sony S Series claims to provide up to 15 hours of battery life, which would be a godsend to any student. Preliminary tests by firsthand users are already showing impressive results on performance and have users raving about the long-lasting battery.
While you probably shouldn't be on a laptop for 15 straight hours, its good to know that this type of battery life is possible without having to carry around plugin adapters that take up space and add weight to our bags. It's peace of mind knowing one doesnt have to worry about battery life or their battery dying on them.Our first full day using the laptop we were able to get just over 14 hours of battery life on the Sony VAIO with the sheet battery attached (see pic below). This was accomplished by using the 'Power Saver' power plan, setting the switchable graphics from Speed to Stamina mode, and setting the screen brightness to a low, but tolerable setting.
