For something running Windows, what's the benefit of ARM over an Intel CPU?

Battery life. Samsung came out with an ARM Galaxy Book earlier this year on Windows that had like 23 hours of battery life.

The problem though is that its kinda like Chrome OS... It's a pretty limited affair in terms of experience. Windows tends to be way behind than Chrome OS as well.


EDIT: Oh and as someone noted - Always on. So it wakes up as fast as a smart phone.

meaningless until windows fixes how it does updates. Not the major updates, the small security updates.

Ever since my wife, brother and my surface pros got stolen, we're been waiting for this reveal. Hoping the specs are good. I used the pro for work and art. I'm hoping the pro 7 excels at both.

I have a surface pro 6 I never use. I regret getting it over the laptop. I'll likely remedy that this time.

I rather use punch cards and COBOL than Chrome OS

Definitely in for a 13" Laptop 3 if it indeed has USB-C PD. I will thought wait till it goes on sale as they usually do like 200-300 off.
