Do new Windows-on-ARM notebooks run much longer on battery power?

[d-hubs]

Good day dear friends,

 

For more than ten years, Microsoft has been struggling with Windows notebooks with ARM processors. But that's history I guess.

 

Now, there are attractive devices with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor.

 

If we come to the tech factors: The new Windows-on-ARM notebooks run much longer on battery power than x86 laptops with AMD chips.

 

Would you mind taking such a new CPU?

What is your opinion here?

Depends. Is battery life the primary/only concern? Because I'd also worry about whether it's performance is good enough for my use case and whether the software I use works fine on ARM (with emulation if needed).

Even LTT video said that its great,

No the batt-life is not the only concern -  your right - the performance is important too

If you value battery above all and you are fine with things that are not supported or don't work the best. Check programs you care for if they work on ARM though.
