12 Hours of Battery Life. 2 Graphics Cards

A high end laptop capable of keeping a 12-hour battery charge. ASUS introduced the UL80JT laptop at CES 2010. ASUS describes the upcoming laptop model to not only run on Intel's Core i7 processor but also run 2 Graphics processors (GPU). 
For the high end GPU, the systems has an NVIDIA GeForce 310 and an Intel GMA for regular laptop usage.


The 12-hour battery life is attainable due to the system's hardware-based management. The ASUS UL80JT switches between the 2 GPUs (based on performance requirements we suppose), without user interaction and clocks the 1.73 GHz processor as well. Both features can be tracked via an on-screen widget.
