Dell\u2019s new XPS 16 laptop appears to offer incredible battery life, and it\u2019s in part thanks to Intel and LG Display.<\/p>\n

Essentially, the laptop has a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate (VRR) display that lets the device sip power when the screen isn\u2019t in use \u2014 as little as 1.5 watts.<\/p>\n

According to benchmarks Notebookcheck<\/em><\/a> ran on a version of the laptop with the LG Display screen and a new Intel Panther Lake chip, it was found to be one of the most efficient laptops ever to undergo its Wi-Fi web browsing test. At idle, the Core Ultra 325-powered XPS 16 lasted nearly 27 hours despite housing only a 70-watt-hour pack. Of course, real-world usage will likely see shorter battery life. It\u2019s also worth pointing out that the XPS 16 has a 1080p display \u2014 higher-res panels will draw more power.<\/p>\n

According to Notebookcheck,<\/em> <\/em>the XPS 16 lasted longer than any MacBook or MacBook Pro, and apparently longer than that of <\/span>all but two other laptops<\/a> since the test began in 2014.<\/span> Interestingly, of those two laptops, one was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip<\/a> and had a larger 84W battery, while the other<\/a> had two batteries for a combined 194Wh. Important note: both laptops had only a 60Hz screen.<\/p>\n

As The Verge<\/em><\/a> pointed out, this tech may not be exclusive to Dell for long. LG Display just announced<\/a> that it has become the first company to mass-produce the 1-120Hz laptop LCD panel \u2014 which is reportedly branded as the Oxide 1Hz. There are reportedly plans to mass-produce an OLED version in 2027.<\/p>\n

Now, similar display tech has been in smartphones and smartwatches before; the 2019 Apple Watch Series 5<\/a> introduced a 1-60Hz screen to save power, the 2021 Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra<\/a> had a 10-120Hz display, and the OnePlus 9 Pro<\/a> also had a dynamic 1-120Hz refresh rate. And variable refresh rates aren\u2019t new to laptops either, though most don\u2019t go lower than 60Hz at the bottom end.<\/p>\n

Couple those panels with more efficient chips, like Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon X CPUs or Intel\u2019s new Panther Lake \u2014 which, in our testing, showed excellent battery life<\/a> \u2014 and we could soon have a variety of long-lasting laptops on the market.<\/p>\n
