It's not even necessarily faster so much as liable to have a better battery life.

more computing means less battery life. rather have more efficient setup than larger one if there is no difference in perceived performance other than battery life.

So we don't care about battery life anymore?

No numbers on battery life improvements?

BudaDude Jan 14, 2023 View on HN

I would imagine battery life may be a part of it

What's behind the battery life being so much better?

unknownian Jul 23, 2013 View on HN

I hear the battery life is poor because of the high specs.

Probably mainly the lower power usage, better battery life etc I'd say.

Talk to me about the battery life. Life is about tradeoffs.

And prioritise battery life over faster processors.
