But it's not because you don't need years that nobody else would. And it's not because you immediately link ARM to smartphones and music players that that's the only use for a power-efficient CPU. Think a little harder :-)
- its_so_on 15y agoI was talking about my laptop. Terribly sorry I didn't make this clear, too late to edit! I mean that nobody even thinks of making a laptop with the battery life mentioned. For office tasks, who cares if it's an arm?
- ramchip 15y agoI'm not sure it'd be possible given how much power would be drawn by the peripherals: screen, wifi, hard disks / SSDs, USB ports if used... although I do wonder if there are computers with netbook processing power and laptop batteries/form factor.
- its_so_on 15y agoRight, but my point was that nobody even bothers to serve this laptop market. If there are laptops with netbook processing power (in both sense of the words: power usage and processing power), an ssd, and a massive battery that will push that sucker close to 20 hours (on email, word processing, office tasks), then I don't know about it. I just think nobody even considers taht a priority. Instead, they focus on "a full day's charge" -- like a wind-up watch in the 19th century.
