    30 hour battery sounds like a gimmick. It might be a 30wh battery which doesn't do much if you're doing anything more than moving from one room to another or light browsing. Most laptops have a 60wh battery and you're lucky to get an hour out of that with normal use. If you drop your screen brightness and limit the activity you can stretch it considerably to maybe 3 hours of actual use but, I haven't met a battery yet that lasts more than that unless it's a tablet of some sort. Considering the models listed are 11th gen processors I suspect the drain would be even higher.

    Yeah it certainly sounds like a massive gimmick, it does come with a fairly large 73Whr battery so just interested in any long-term feedback!

    Seeing as though it's a 11th gen CPU it's just been released.
