Why is there still no ARM based laptop with a 12 cell battery for 24+ hour battery life?

Was going to shitpost but I am genuinely interested in a touchscreen laptop with android or such. Battery life of 24 hours would be great.
>>
>>61924762
Android does most of what I need, I can read, watch movies, play emulators, use a text editor, etc.

A decent Snapdragon processor and 1080p touch screen in like a Thinkpad Chasis with fuckhuge battery is all I want.
>>
>>61924718
There is. Get a Linux tablet with a keyboard and touchpad. Back in 4.0 android was very amendable to making the mouse and keyboard on a bluetooth attachment feel like a desktop.

I noticed in the Galaxy tab series and newer android OSes, this is less possible as I dont think there is a natural mouse built into the OS anymore.

Problem is they don't have fuckhuge batteries and 24+ hour battery life.

Making one sounds possible, but getting drivers for a laptop touch screen might be hard?\\\Literally a thinkpad with an arm chipset and all the empty space due to the smaller board becoming battery.

I want this.

>>61924836
What exactly are you doing that requires arm?
>>
>>61924718
iPad with keyboard.
>>
>>61924718
Chromebook.

You didnt specify the OS.
>>
>>61924853
x64 uses significantly more power and space.

Using ARM lowers power usage while giving you more space for a massive battery.

>>61924871
15 hours at best in ideal conditions.

Not 24+
>>
>>61924836
Big problem you're going to run into here is the 99 whr battery size max for air travel or shipping by plane
>>
>>61924718
>>61924853
The Raspberry Pi/ARM version of Ubuntu Mate would be fucking awesome.
>>
>>61924874
They cheap out on the batteries in those and focus on them being too thing.

>Take a modern thinkpad
>Swap insides for ARM
>Use all new empty space for battery
>Bam, 24+ hour machine

>>61924879
How do they transport batteries for electric cars? Boat only?
>>
>>61924718
Samsung Chromebook Plus with RAVPower 26800 (USB-C)

The CB+ has only a 5140 mAh battery and easily gets 6 hours on a single charge at 70% brightness and heavy usage. With light usage and low brightness, I've easily gotten it up to 10+ hours.

With a powerbank you'd be able to recharge 5 times. I estimate you'd easily get 24hrs of heavy usage (10+ javascript-heavy tabs) with the 400nit display at max brightness.

(I love this device so much and have no shame in shilling about it.)
>>
>>61924879
I wonder if you could create a 99Wh addon cell. Maybe 99 in the laptop, then another 99 'pack' that clicks into the bottom, kinda like a thinkpad dock or those crappy kickstarter macbook port extender plate things
>>
>>61924718
I have an ARM-based laptop with a 4-cell battery that lasts 28h.
>>
>>61924897
you think they ship 200+ pound lithium ion batteries by air? Of course they send them on shipping containers, anything over a pound and made in bulk is done by boat.
>>
>>61924813
Android N still has a native pointer. Memesung turns Android to shit I guess.

>>61924879
True, 9-11Wh per single 18650.

>>61924893
Not so fast. SDRAM subsystems and controllers on these OTT/phone SoCs tend toward not great. I really want to see one with more than a 32-bit-wide RAM bus before I'd try anything too serious on it.
>>
>>61924718
Cause (((x86)))

>>61928649
(((emulation)))

>>61928678
It's all fun and games until some mexinigger puts a trampoline on the stack.

>ARM
Into the trash.
