Windows 7 on a laptop. x32 or x64 version? -

which is a better version of Windows 7 for a laptop, x32 or x64? battery life is my main goal. also, is the battery life on windows 7 better than that of vista?

I would go with 64-bit. The power consumption of the processor won t change much by going to 64-bit. Based on the forum referenced below, the user experience is that Windows 7 does provide a longer battery life than Vista.

Since windows 7 is still in its beta stages, i recommend holding off, I been a windows xp user for years. and recently switched to vista, and i been using x64 i say its not really that good than the x32 since theirs more compatible with x32 than x64 , x64 uses all your resources ram etc to the fullest, and x32 does about the same . stick to x32.

i am testing the 32 bit on a laptop. I do not see where 64 bit vs 32 bit has any effect on battery life.

x64 battery use is the same
