We used BatteryMark 2001
to test the Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277's battery life and were quite impressed
with the results. As the above graph shows, the Toshiba Satellite Satellite 1905-S277
ran for a full 3 hours and 59 minutes while on battery power. That equated to
a run time of 239 minutes, meaning that it out lasted the thin and light ASUS
T9 by 1 hour and 26 minutes. That is one advantage that desktop replacement notebooks
offer: although they often draw more power, they also have the leeway to include
powerful batteries. Like we mentioned before, the Satellite 1905-S277 uses a 12
cell battery that puts out 5850mAh of power.

As always, boot time of a
notebook is important. Because of all the internal components that the Toshiba
Satellite 1905-S277 must initialize upon boot, the system started 2 seconds slower
than the ASUS T9 while it was on battery power. The DVD/CDRW drive and floppy
drive are two items that the ASUS T9 did not need to initialize upon bootup.
After
asking for feedback on our last notebook review, we found that many of our readers
were also curious to see how long it took a given notebook to come out of standby
and hibernate modes. The Toshiba Satellite 1905-S277 took only 6 seconds to come
out of standby mode and 17 seconds to come out of hibernate mode. We will be sure
to compare these numbers to the times it takes future notebooks to perform the
same tasks.
