What is ARM on Windows?
If you've been seeing 'ARM' pop up everywhere in laptop reviews lately, here's what you need to know.
ARM processors represent a completely different approach to computing than the Intel and AMD chips that have powered Windows PCs for decadesâand in 2024, they finally became good enough to seriously consider.
The basics:
- ARM uses simpler, more efficient design than traditional x86 processorsâsame technology powering every smartphone
- All components integrated into one chip (System-on-Chip design) for maximum efficiency.
Why it matters for you:
- 14-20 hour battery life compared to 6-8 hours on Intel laptopsâwork all day without a charger
- Full performance on battery powerâno slowdowns when unplugged.
- Cool and quiet operationâmany are completely fanless
- Instant-on like your phoneâopen the lid and you're immediately ready to work.
Current devices you can buy:
- Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 - The flagship Windows ARM experience
- Dell XPS 13 2024 â 27-hour battery life
- Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x - Gorgeous 3K OLED display
- ASUS Vivobook S 15 - Most affordable entry point
- HP, Acer, Samsung - All released competitive ARM models in 2024.
The honest tradeoffs:
- Gaming is limitedâmost PC games don't work well on ARM
- Some apps need emulationâworks okay but not perfect
- 90% of common apps now run natively (Chrome, Office, Adobe, Zoom, Slack)
