Setting a new standard in battery life, the Sony VAIO X Series’ battery life is good rather than great and a heavy use time of almost four hours is bettered by many much cheaper notebooks. The laptop comes with two interchangeable batteries: a standard VGP-BPL19 battery(3.5-hour) and VGP-BPX19, a larger, heavier, battery-and-stand combo that supposedly lasts for up to 14 hours. The large capacity 20-hour VGP-BPX19 battery that clips to the base, but this adds to the size and weight — defeating the whole point of spending so much on so slim a laptop in the first place.
