There has? Where?
Specifically for Windows PCs, not chromebooks or apples.
- als0 3y agoNot got a reference but one of the new Lenovo ARM laptops claims to have 26 hour battery life. If true then that's pretty compelling.
- Mindwipe 3y agoNot running any software is very helpful for battery life.
- officeplant 3y agoEven as a ARM/RISC-V cultist I had to chuckle at that.
- hypercube33 3y agoAn AMD Lenovo Laptop supposedly gets 16 hours of battery life and again, this is subject to what you're running, but it runs x86 stuff natively instead of having to translate it. Isnt this 'good enough' for most people? I know we have people wanting week long laptop batteries, but over 12 solid, real world hours should be good enough for the majority of users, I'd think.
