my desktop pc lasts 0 seconds unplugged (tested)

I just hope it doesn't also mean the death of upgradability and repairability. The apple way of "better make sure to buy more than what you need for futureproof" and "if it broke, well... sucks to be you" is a future I really don't want.

The death of x86 sounds like "the year of the Linux desktop"

[Johnnyynf]

Imagine having a mac level laptop hardware but don't have to deal with apple's bs
Count me in

My bank’s mainframe cluster lasts 4hrs with the power disconnected .. which is plenty of time to start up the 4 massive diesel engines in the basement to take over.

Wouldn’t mind that setup at home actually

Lets hope that once ARM starts to become common in PC, manufacturers will not start shrinking the battery to make laptops unreasonably thin again.

1:34: My laptop only lasts 20 mins under low load and 5 mins under high load.

my Arch Linux laptop lasts approx. 10 minutes because the battery is severely damaged

X86 machine user here. My laptop lasts approx 6 hours w/o AC supply and I do mostly programming

[Winnetou]

Ok, now the race is ON! How long until a specter-like vulnerability is found for Snapdragon chips too ? I'd say at most 2 years.

Great video, Alex! Was awesome to meet you over in San Diego

[RazoBeckett.]

i last 2 min, and my Arch Linux Laptop last 2HRS, still better than me considering it a gaming laptop.

My PC after being unplugged for 2 minutes :

“I will self destruct in 5 seconds”

My concern is that they are comparing this "Elite" chips against the base M2 processor. If you check cell phones, the price for those snapdragon cpus are getting insane, elevating the pricing for android phones by a bunch. Today you get a M2 computer - please read mac mini - for 599 with storage, memory, etc or a base model notebook for 999, meaning that those cpus are being sold for about 200 each. How much those "super" snapdragon chips will cost? Will Windows be up for it?

Qualcomm being a bit of shady company when it comes to open source drivers and licencing, I don't expect ARM in grade consumers windows/Linux laptop. Or for a big price tag (The price of the Snapdragon Lenovo X1 last years was a pure joke).

I remember seeing a quirky little British computer called the 'Acorn Archimedes' at a computer fair in the early 90s. We've come a long way.

This channel is a gem, just found it today and I’m hooked.
Excellent work.

What people expect: PCs with this chip would achieve Apple Silicon Mac longevity
What actually happens: PCs still run out of batteries earlier than they should because Windows 11 is so full of bloat by default and it still keeps the laptop running when it should be sleeping because Windows still hasn't implemented Sleep that properly works yet
