PC makers at CES are spotlighting a new generation of laptops designed to convince you to leave your iPad at home.
Special for USA TODAYOnce again, PC makers at CES are spotlighting a new generation of laptops designed to persuade you to leave your iPad at home. But this time, they just might succeed.
PC makers hope to fix all that with Project Athena. For this first year, Intel says it is “verifying” Project Athena-level capability with three metrics designed to approximate real-world use. They are:Resume operation within three seconds of opening the lid, hitting the enter key or tapping the touchpad at least 80% of the time.
The display is one of the laptop’s most power-hungry components, which is why power-saving modes historically have dimmed the screen to the point it’s barely readable. So I was impressed the spec is set to 250 nits, which is roughly 70% or 80% brightness on the Spectre. That was plenty bright for me just about everywhere but outside in the Arizona sun.Even so, battery life was the one area that’s fallen short of the spec in my testing.
