Modern Arm SBCs definitely offer better low-power computing than the Atom and Celeron things of old. The Pinebook Pro Arm64 laptop gets about 8 hours of mixed use on a full charge when using eMMC instead of NVMe storage. It charges using a plain DC barrel jack on just 5 volts, and can trickle-charge on low current. If "mixed use" doesn't involve surfing the web and using Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, it easily goes beyond 10 hours. The M1/M2 MacBook Airs also offer fantastic battery life, even if charging them is a bit more complicated.
