Windows 10 will fundamentally change laptops, according to Microsoft, which is preparing a series of changes that will be offered in the coming months. We are talking here about the support that Windows 10 will have for laptops that have ARM processors, which will offer the best battery autonomy for products of this kind, or at least that is what Microsoft says.
Windows 10 will have support for laptops that have integrated Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, and eventually 845 processors, which will be able to run desktop applications thanks to the integration offered by Microsoft. The first laptops with ARM processors should have appeared by the end of this year, with support for Windows 10, but for now no launch has been announced.
Windows 10 will still amaze you with the battery autonomy it will offer for laptops with ARM processors, Microsoft managing to do something truly impressive. Yesterday Microsoft announced the launch 2 Surface Book which has Intel processors and offers up to 17 hours of autonomy, so Windows 10 on ARM laptops should offer even better autonomy than that, maybe even a whole day.
Windows 10 will fundamentally change laptops
Windows 10 is praised by those from Microsoft for the fact that the daily use of an ARM laptop does not require charging during the day, but only overnight, after a day of use. Basically, the battery autonomy offered by Windows 10 laptops with ARM processors is similar to that offered by smartphones, the technological evolution for the batteries of these products being surprising.
"To be frank, it's actually beyond our expectations. We set a high bar for [our developers], and we're now beyond that. It's the kind of battery life where I use it on a daily basis. I don't take my charger with me. I may charge it every couple of days or so. It's that kind of battery life."
Windows 10 in laptops with ARM processors will revolutionize the period of use of this type of product, battery autonomy being an essential element in their sales strategy. Those from Microsoft say that the first people who tested the laptops with ARM processors and support for Windows 10 announced that there were problems with battery monitoring, but in reality it was so good that the energy was consumed very hard.
Windows 10 is the first operating system that has integrated support for ARM processors in laptops, and this despite the fact that Apple is also working on something similar. It's hard to say whether Apple will be able to offer ARM processors for Macs soon, but based on what we're seeing now for Windows 10 and ARM laptops, it looks like Apple will be far behind the competition. .
Windows 10 does not currently have support for ARM processors available, but official support will come with the first laptops.
