My Thinkpad (4 years old) runs all day, no problem. I’ve often been shocked to look at the battery in the afternoon and see it’s at 30%.
Really depends.
ARM is still better on battery life but the difference isn’t as great as it was - and that’s enough to not trade the performance and flexibility for better battery life.
X86 doesn’t need the same battery life as ARM, just not the awful life it used to have. And that’s where we are. The difference in battery life from 10 years ago is staggering. Used to be 2-3 hours run time, now I get 6-8.
