- Mobility factor
-
The Mobility Factor is both a standard and a performance indicator in the information technology industry, and is used to evaluate mobile performance characteristics in notebooks.
Three of these parameters are especially important to business users and frequent travellers: battery life, weight and build quality.
The simple mobility factor sets a notebook's battery life against its weight, including battery. The extended mobility factor is calculated by multiplying this quotient (battery life divided by weight in kilos) with the notebook's ability to withstand load (kgf). These two parameters give a clear comparison between various models in the same notebook class.
High values for individual parameters are secondary in importance in the mobility factor value. Top mobility-factor values can only be reached from an evenly balanced, high-level relationship between the three most important mobile performance factors.
