I was just window-shopping laptops this morning, and realized ARM-based doesn't necessarily hold battery life advantages.

You mean Windows-based ARM laptops or Macbooks?

They actually do. Qualcomm matches Intel's best battery life but gives you more performance. Apple exceeds the best x86 performance and battery life by a large margin.

I Blame that on Qualcomm. Right now they are the only vendor with ARM CPU on Windows. And using QC CPU means you must buy their whole "solution".
