These tests are baloney. He accessed the drives *constantly* during the benchmark - no users ever do that, and that kind of activity heavily biases the test against SSD's. Typical usage involves accessing the drives for small amounts of data every few seconds to few minutes, and this is where SSD's shine because old-style drives have to keep the drive spun up while it's not doing anything.

Show me tests where the laptops are, say, playing a movie from the drive in question and the SSD drains the battery faster.
