Imagine if your current laptop got 10 times more battery life. How amazing would that be?

I think 10 times is a little hard to swallow. Given the nature of battery advances of the past I'd say expect between 1.5 to 3 times increase in use time. Which is still a fuckload considering some of those 13 inch laptops get like 5 hours straight as it is.

I also expect about a dozen crotch fires in the first week these come out. If I'm understanding this correctly, I'm pretty sure they're going to have a much higher thermal signature than a normal Lithium Ion battery.

Very important. Would expect big increases if chips continue to become more efficient.
