Whether it&#8217;s working on a plane or train, writing in a coffee shop, killing time on the couch or just lounging in bed, you want a portable computer to run as long as possible without its power cord. Long battery life is a big feature we look for in <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/best-laptop\/\">the best laptops<\/a><\/span> we test and review. <\/p>\n<p>Some PC-makers specifically aim for long battery life, using highly efficient components and special performance modes to extend usability. <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/best-gaming-laptop\/\">Gaming laptops<\/a><\/span>, on the other hand, often use the highest-power parts possible and are lucky to last even a few hours. Some factors that affect battery life include screen resolution, CPU choice and the type of display panel used, from LCD to OLED.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Our CNET Labs team tests every laptop we review for both performance and battery life. We use a video playback test that streams a private video over Wi-Fi on an endless loop, with uniform screen brightness, volume and sleep\/hibernate settings. More details on how we test computers can be found below.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>This is not the most strenuous test possible, but it is one that&#8217;s replicable across many different products, so it allows for easy comparisons regardless of the operating system or manufacturer. The current top performers are\u00a0<span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/m2-pro-macbook-pro-16-review-apple-peps-up-its-creative-workhorse\/\">MacBooks<\/a><\/span>, which closely match the battery life estimates provided by Apple, and <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/acer-chromebook-spin-513-cp513-2h-review\/\">Chromebooks<\/a><\/span>, which are known for their power efficiency. Our current top-performing <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/lg-gram-16-2-in-1-2022-review-light-long-battery-life-big-display\/\">Windows laptop<\/a><\/span> ran for about half the time of our current top-performing MacBook. For real-world use that&#8217;s more power-hungry than streaming video, you can expect to get 50-75% of the scores here.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>This list includes Windows and MacOS laptops, Windows two-in-one hybrids and Chromebooks running Google&#8217;s Chrome OS. Not included are Android or iOS tablets. The laptops listed were tested in either 2022 or 2023 and are still available to buy. Systems we&#8217;ve published full reviews of are linked below; other systems are models we&#8217;ve tested only for comparison.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>This list will be updated regularly as we test and review new laptops.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h2> Best battery life laptops 2022\/2023 <\/h2>\n<table readabilityDataTable=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Laptop name<\/th>\n<th>Battery life in hours,
