EnergyBook Pro Ultra: New laptop promises up to 7 days standby time and 28 hours of intensive office use

Energizer is no longer a stranger on the laptop market, having just officially announced a new notebook, the EnergyBook Pro Ultra. The main selling point of this model is its large 192 Wh battery, which reportedly provides up to 28 hours of office use. But there are other notebooks without gigantic batteries that also have similarly long battery life, as our review of the Asus Vivobook S16 proves. The large battery capacity of the EnergyBook Pro Ultra is, of course, a double burden: Firstly, it is likely to increase the weight. Secondly, devices with a battery capacity of 100 or 160 Wh are usually not permitted on passenger aircraft. The extent to which this rule is enforced and whether the EnergyBook Pro Ultra will attract the attention of airport staff is debatable. In the worst case, the notebook would have to be left behind when traveling.

Exact technical specifications in the form of a data sheet are not yet available, but concrete information about the features has been provided. An AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM are expected. A 512 GB NVMe SSD is installed, and the 18-inch screen is said to have a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200, which isn't exactly sharp. USB Type-C, HDMI, USB, a memory card reader, and a headphone jack are available. A price of €449 ($525) has been announced, but availability is not yet known.
