The processor

Windows RT uses ARM processors, meaning less power consumption. So far Microsoft isn’t making promises about battery life, but it’s certainly better than it would be with traditional x86 processors using the same battery. Depending on what the company considers good battery life that means the battery used can be smaller and therefore weight less, contributing to the overall sleekness of the device.
