Although the Sager NP8886 is almost too heavy to carry around, it actually
proves to be a fairly decent machine on the road when it comes to battery life.
The battery life of the system was considerably longer than that of the Hypersonic
machine which offers fairly similar performance numbers. Helping the NP8886
last longer than the Hypersonic Sonic Aviator is an LCD panel that gets darker
than that on the Hypersonic Machine and a processor that is clocked lower. At
the same time, the NP8886 has to expend a considerable amount of energy to keep
both 5400RPM hard drives spinning and ready which is a task the Hypersonic machine
did not have to handle. Just because it was good in comparison to the Hypersonic
machine doesn't mean that the battery life of the Sager NP8886 did not leave
anything to be desired; it ran 30 minutes less than the Compaq Presario 900
and a massive 165 minutes less than the dual battery Dell Inspiron 8200.

The battery life of the Sager NP8886 met the 90 minute requirement necessary
to output a battery performance score, something that we were not able to do
on the Hypersonic machine. Not surprisingly, the NP8886 easily dominates the
other notebooks we have taken a look at in the Mobile Mark performance test
because of its fast CPU. What the performance chart does demonstrate for us
is that the Sager NP8886 runs at its full speed while on battery life. We have
seen other desktnote systems out there that lower their clock speed while on
battery power to preserve battery life but this is not the case with the NP8886.
