“Multi-day” battery life sounds wild! That’s probably the biggest thing for users. It would be good for Apple to get some competition because their M-chips seemed so far away from everything else.

Careful; the multi-day claims may depend on having an unrealistically huge battery, or being active only sporadically across the time period.

Any battery life claim needs to be aligned with the consumer-class operating system and application layer (iOS, Android, etc). Multi-day battery life on a non-Google-Pixel Android device with typical usage would be interesting.

Still, even if someone uses it for two hours a day and then just closes it being able to run for multiple days without charging the way Macs can is fantastic.

I agree it seems incredibly unlikely that you’re doing multiple days of eight hours of work without charging.

Longer is always better, so if it’s true at all great for them.
