Intel’s new chips offer more than just improved graphical performance. MLID suggests that laptop manufacturers can expect a significant increase in battery life with the Meteor Lake CPUs. This is an area where Apple’s MacBooks have excelled, but by removing the need for a discrete GPU, Intel’s chips will save power and potentially create room for larger batteries within laptop chassis. As a result, the best ultrabooks could finally rival the exceptional battery life of the latest MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) without compromising on performance.
Intel has encountered challenges that are not unique to the company. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, manufacturing backlogs caused by COVID-19 lockdowns, and various global economic issues have impacted the entire tech industry. Moreover, there has been an overall decline in laptop sales across the market.
