This includes: modern office work, video, gaming, and idle time. Eventually providing a more practical overview than a benchmark score for comparison. Furthermore, it should give users a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each device on how it handles battery life.

Furthermore, this application test is compatible with the latest Snapdragon Always Online PCs running Windows 10 on ARM. So testers and professionals will be able to cross-compare it with x86-based devices directly.
