I didnt pay much attention to this potential issue when it was announced, but this has the potential to completely kill my interest in the Sage.
You see the higher core and frequency and automatically think its a meaningful upgrade, but I would gladly trade whatever speed increases for increased battery life given that Im okay with the speed of the single core 1ghz processor of my Clara. Im skeptical they can power management this away.
This has just become my biggest question about the Sage. I wouldnt dream of pre-ordering it because of this uncertainty.
