My E6510 is a Quad-Core i7 vPro with 8GB RAM and the 9-cell extended
battery that gives me over 4 hours of battery life. This is one of my
personal laptops, the other 2 are just Dell Inspirons.

My E7240 is a Dual-Core i5  with 8GB RAM and 256GB SS with the standard
battery and still I get over 4 hours battery life. This is my work
laptop provided to me.
