    Does anyone know how is the battery life with the new SB chips in general?

    In particular the SB i5's: is there any significant change than the 1st generation?

    yes there CAN be lots on the new thinkpads battery life is reaching almost 8 hours of light use
    Lenovo ThinkPad X220 review -- Engadget
    thats the real reason sandy bridge is so big great battery life
    it has a Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz Core i5-2520M btw which is a 35 w chip imagine the 25 w chips like the i7-2629M

    also as a note sandy bridge is only around 20% faster so a 2.4 ghz core i3 is same speed as a 2ghz sandy bridge i3 (the part dose not exist but its an example)
