Windows 10 laptops powered by Qualcomm chipset will offer almost 28-29 hours battery life

We know that Qualcomm and Microsoft have been collaborating to bring the first Windows 10 PC with ARM in the market. The company has also confirmed that the first Windows 10 ARM PC will come with Snapdragon processor in several instances. However, no specific timeline was given as to when the PCs would be launched in the market.

While the two companies seem to be working behind the scenes in securing deals as well as pushing the development of such PCs, a senior Microsoft executive has just revealed an interesting fact about the upcoming Windows 10 laptops driven by Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile chips.

The Executive has basically confirmed that the new PCs will offer "multi-day" battery life. In conversation with Trustedreviews.com, Cristiano Amon, Executive VP of Qualcomm Technologies, stated, "Expect an 'extreme gain in battery life'. For Netflix streaming with LTE, we're looking at 28-29 hours playback. We're looking at all-day computing with everything on in excess of 16, 17 or 18 hours."

In any case, it looks like the battery efficiency aspect will be one of the main highlights of the upcoming devices. At Computex 2017, Microsoft and Qualcomm had also somewhat assured audiences that these upcoming devices would be connected constantly and have a long-lasting battery life that will make them last over a day.

The companies are addressing some of the main problems concerning portable devices especially the battery life part. Even though the devices come with high-end features it mostly misses out on the battery part. But that seems to be changing now.

Pete Bernard, Principal Group Programme Manager for Connectivity Partners at Microsoft also told Trustedreviews.com, "The final numbers aren't in, but the battery life is really, really good." "Amazingly good. To be frank, it's actually beyond our expectations. We set a higher bar for (our developers), and we're now beyond that," he added.

Microsoft and Qualcomm are working together to bring Windows 10 laptops powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 SoC. Now, this is the same processor used in 2017 flagship Android smartphones from Samsung, OnePlus and LG amongst others. Interestingly, these chips that will be used will be smaller in size compared to the standard laptop processor. Thus manufacturers can now fit in a bigger battery in the laptops as they will have more space. And the outcome, longer battery life.
