[Tech News Insight - SapiensBryan Blog] AMD Turion64 might not have advantage in battery life as its Thermal Design Power (TDP) is 25W-35W, whereas Intel Pentium-M is 21W-27W. Please bear in mind, a processor with a higher TDP means it will inevitably consume more power, hence, shorten battery life.
