Don’t iPads get significantly better battery life than similar casual workloads on a similar form factor Intel PC (like a MacBook Air)?

  That’s mostly because desktop systems are built with more background services and traditional multitasking in mind. iOS has a different set of principles.

    But luckily for Apple the control the OS as well.

      If that was enough, though, they'd just do that now. They control the OS without making laptop silicon.

        Right, but an iPad is already an example of what they can do when they control both.
