My test taxes the computer more than a normal user and involves keeping Wi-Fi on, cranking the screen to full brightness, turning off all power-saving features, keeping email retrieval going in the background and playing an endless loop of music.
The new processors will run at speeds of up to 1.83 gigahertz, cranking out performance comparable to a 2004-era notebook while using only modest amounts of power.
By enabling increased power at low temperatures, Nanophosphate EXT is expected to substantially improve the cold-cranking capabilities of A123's lithium ion 12V Engine Start battery.
