It remains to be seen if ongoing efforts, including having created ARM64CE executable format, bare the adoption at scale Microsoft is expecting, versus previous attempts.
All I know for sure is that with an Apple Silicon ARM based laptop, I never think about charging anymore. When I'm around a charger I charge it a bit. I use it for hours at a time and don't even think about charging. Windows users would get used to this lack of battery anxiety really quick.
I had x86 laptops and they were great. But when running on battery, there is always those glances up at the battery indicator every few minutes and thinking about when I am going to have to get to a charger again. Until you have left that behind, with a super lightweight laptop, you just can't understand what a game changer it is.
I think Microsoft is eager to get to that experience for their users. I hope they will keep making the investment to get there.
