Isn't being ARM-based something that actually helps keep the hardware price down? I thought it was generally cheaper to go with chips like Snapdragon / Tegra / Exynos than, say, any Intel. And I also thought it actually helped with battery life. Do I have a completely wrong idea of ARM?

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the original Samsung Chromebook was ARM-based and the battery lasted forever. It wasn't the quickest device, though.

Edit: Nope, first Samsung Chromebook was Intel.
