The laptop with the lowest idle power consumption is the one that will come out ahead in battery life for 95% of real-world situations. They were equal in that.

But why didn't they try turning down both displays to remove that variable, or pick units with identical displays?

CPU load when typing feverishly into Word, editing powerpoint or browsing the internet is <5%.
