That’s clearly on show with battery life. I’ve not had enough time with the laptop to really dig into the battery life, but it is getting through each day comfortably. Starting at dawn with a full battery, I was happily working through some audio editing for podcasting, the usual daily work of writing and browsing with background music, and some baseball video streams in the evening… broadly speaking, I was looking at forty percent battery left at the end of the day.
Now called Prism, the design challenge is to run any x86 Windows app on ARM hardware. Broadly speaking, this has been achieved. It’s not perfect, and there will no doubt be cases where x86 apps are just too awkward to run in the current emulation version. The results were good enough for my needs, but it’s clear that gaming will need more work. The closer you get to current AAA titles, the lower you must drop framerate and resolution. Cyberpunk 2077 struggles to go above 25fps on a low-graphic setting, and you’ll be looking for 1080p and 30fps for titles released in 2022 and 2023.
Some titles, especially online multiplayer games, will refuse to run, warning that they are not designed for ARM-based systems. Anti-cheat technologies are likely at play here, but if you have a game or app that is a deal-breaker for you, checking that it can run before purchasing the S 15 is vital.
