ARM that are microsoft certified will specifically not give you that option.

You are probably largely using x86_64 which come with the option to do so, but there has been a lot of push around moving to things like ARM for energy efficiency reasons.

There has? Where?

Specifically for Windows PCs, not chromebooks or apples.

Not got a reference but one of the new Lenovo ARM laptops claims to have 26 hour battery life. If true then that's pretty compelling.

Not running any software is very helpful for battery life.

Even as a ARM/RISC-V cultist I had to chuckle at that.

An AMD Lenovo Laptop supposedly gets 16 hours of battery life and again, this is subject to what you're running, but it runs x86 stuff natively instead of having to translate it. Isnt this 'good enough' for most people? I know we have people wanting week long laptop batteries, but over 12 solid, real world hours should be good enough for the majority of users, I'd think.
