Why Apple should make Mac chips: Windows 10 ARM laptops will have multi-day battery life

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/12-inch-macbook-deal.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1280)</div><p>Industry players, such as Microsoft, have arrived in Hong Kong this week for Qualcomm’s 4G/5G Summit, an annual event to strategize and discuss trends and technology developments.</p>
<p>One of the topics of surefire interest revolves around Microsoft’s upcoming ARM-powered Windows 10 laptop (https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/08/apple-switch-to-arm-based-macs/). In a glimpse into its battery life potential, Microsoft’s Principal Group Program Manager for Connectivity Partners, Pete Bernard, told Trusted Reviews (http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/4-things-learned-microsofts-windows-10-snapdragon-laptops-today-3309055http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/4-things-learned-microsofts-windows-10-snapdragon-laptops-today-3309055) that he only needs to “charge it every couple of days or so.”</p>
<p>Having multi-day battery life on a real, full-featured laptop would indeed, as Bernard puts it, be a game-changing innovation. Yet, when you consider how much better Apple’s custom-designed silicon is compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, the possibilities for an ARM-powered Mac become all the more desirable. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/18/microsoft-windows-10-arm-snapdragon-all-day-battery-life-apple-macbook/#more-504435" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=504435&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=504435&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><div class="feedflare">
