This estimation is typically the longest possible time they were able to achieve on a full battery charge. This test can differ manufacturer to manufacturer, but it is typically done with minimal services running, idle on the desktop, in order to achieve the highest possible time for them to advertise. Adding additional load will always reduce that number. | |

That means it can drain the battery quicker, but that depends on your power & performance settings. Modern CPUs can scale their actual clock speed to a more efficient level for a given workload. So both CPUs may drain the battery similarly since the "faster" one could downclock for a light workload. However, the battery drain is majorly affected by other components in a laptop, so two different laptops with similar CPUs will have different battery life. | |

The exact CPU models would be a step up in the quality of information presented. Better yet, add in the model names of the laptops you are interested in. Without this information, nobody can judge battery life of two laptops you want to compare. | |
