QuoteNBC back at it again, totally ignoring sustained performance
Yup. They won't listen to us either.
You'll also notice the Asus model based on the 8550U also has higher PL1 and PL2 settings. If you compare it to 8650U models, its still the best sustained-performance device. The Latitude 7490 does well, but PL1 and PL2 is at 15/44W.
8565U at 15/18W outperforms the 8650U with 15/44W. Seems pretty good to me.
The battery life is an upgrade too if you normalize it to capacity.
But NOTEBOOKCHECK DOESN'T LISTEN ANYWAY SO WHO CARES?
