Except that, according to reddit users, these two cases are exclusionary. You can have 15 hour battery life OR run emulated apps, but not both. When doing both battery life is comparable to cheaper more powerful x86 machines.I think the 15 hour battery life is the impressive bit, if you're hoping for it to crush x86 on a price/performance point it's not going to happen just yet.
The fact that it's running windows even in emulation acceptably is a huge nail in the coffin for x86. I think alot of people will pick these up for the battery life alone.
I'll give apple this, this is something they fixed before launch. By all accounts macOS ARM binary translation battery life is still really good.
