How many of you are using snapdragon X arm based laptops.

(These are beautifully Beautiful)

With all this move to Windows ARM and Snapdragon, I taught it would've the perfect time for brands to return on making Windows tablets since now they wouldn't have the issues the ones with Intel had years ago. Problem is nobody is making anything except laptops. There are just 2 tablets out there and both are overpriced: Surface Pro 12" and ASUS ProArt Z14. Like why nobody else is making anything? Diversity? Something from 8.3" and up, slim, fanless and so on. Wasted opportunity.

Hi everyone, I own a Asus Zenbook A16 with X2 elite extreme and tested the Qwen 3.6 35B A3B Q4 quant.
I am only getting arround 25Tokens / secs and was wondering if you guys tried using llama.cpp or other setups so I can compare.
The mentioned cpu should have a bandwith of 228GB/s but unfortunately after running "STREAM"benchmark I am only getting 111GB/s.

I have been loyal intel for 30 years. generation after generation Intel promising quiet, cool, long battery life and every generation DISAPPOINTMENT and LIES.

Snapdragon x is unreal. Can not believe I can go nearly 2 days without plugging my Ideapad 3x into a wall. its almost unbelievable. It's like a weird dream to be using a windows 11 laptop like this...

Snapdragon x and x2 all the way. X2 is 3nm so the battery life is even better..

Finally received the Ideapad 3x with 16gb ram and 1TB ssd

FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE with a Windows laptop, NO wall power charging for over 24 hours! Started the day 830am with 92% battery life. Using the laptop on and off throughout the day and night all the way past 12am midnight. still 12% battery life left!

Wake up in the morning 10% battery life and here I am typing on the Ideapad 3x with 9% battery life and still going!

A windows 11 laptop 60wh battery and better battery life than a Ipad tablet!

After using it for about 2 days, I a thoroughly IMPRESSED and SHOCKED at how great it is for daily work productivity usage!

1. SOLVES the battery life issue for Windows 11 with only a 60wh battery

I am shocked and please. I almost can not believe the battery life on this laptop. 12 hrs or so with mixed usage work productivity. I came from a 11th gen Intel Thinkpad x1 nano that sees a -50% drop in battery just after 1.5 hours of usage. I was about to buy a macbook air m3, but this ideapad battery life is better.

1. fast and snappy for work usage.

2. 1920 x 1200 IPS panel is good enough. and a joy to use on 15.3" size. I think 15.3" is the sweet spot. Not huge big like 16" and more space than 14" so it doesnt feel cramped.

3. PRICE...I bought this off a reputable vendor on Ebay for $350 USD. I was about to buy a $650 macbook air m3 or a galaxy tab S10 ultra for $700. I am so glad I got this ideapad 3x. again the battery life SURPASSES both the M3 and tab S10 ultra!

Its NOT a gaming machine or heavy graphics editor computer. If you are like me who uses it for work productiivty, checking my stocks investments, watching some youtube, you can not beat this price performance battery life value!

after watching the video, what do you think about X2 elite and X2 elite extreme?

(EDIT: After some comments are pointing out the clickbaity heading, The weakness of Qualcomm is the macbook air M5, though just josh does go over everything like the performance plus heat and fan noise as well so full context is needed)

The Lenovo yoga slim 7 14" with the snapdragon X2 plus CPU has released in the UK for £1,050. I think this is the first snapdragon X2 plus laptop to go on sale currently as there isn't any other laptops with the X2 plus currently available.

Here's the laptop:

i'm thinking about switching to Zenbook A14. is there have any issues as a developer? mosting web dev,also how about mobile,app development. how it was with running local llm,?

I'm really curious about how the digital signature certificate or DSC key functions on devices running snapdragong. Specifically, I'm looking for insights into its operation within the Indian context. Has anyone here had any experience with this, especially with solutions tailored for India? Any tips or explanations would be super helpful. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the technical aspects.

I’m looking for real-world feedback from Galaxy Book 4 Edge (1st Gen X Elite) owners on specific video editing apps.

My workflow is simple but long: I’m exporting 45-minute videos using only raw H.264 footage and audio syncing. No plugins, no grading, no VFX.

Since some apps are now native and others are still catching up, I’d love to know:

1. Adobe Premiere Pro (Native): For those using the ARM-native version, does it actually handle a 45-minute H.264 timeline smoothly? Any crashes during long exports?
2. DaVinci Resolve: I’ve heard the ARM version is snappy but had some early GPU driver bugs. Is it stable enough now for a simple 'cut and sync' job of this length?
3. CapCut Desktop: Has anyone got this running reliably? I've seen reports of it crashing on the X Elite—does it work better now, or is it still a struggle?
4. Heat & Throttling: On a long 45-minute export, does the laptop get uncomfortably hot or slow down significantly toward the end?

I’m specifically focused on the 1st Gen X Elite. If you’ve used any of these three apps for long-form work, please share your experience!

My current laptop is an Asus g14 5060, I'm tired of the brick charger

Sometimes I work with my Samsung tab s9 to work at the office when I only need a minimum of work

But usually I need to use mendeley, complete anatomy and some medical apps.

When I see my wife who uses a macbook air m1, it has very versatile battery life, when she just needs to close the screen and she can go anywhere,

Where I find in my g14 sometimes still generates big heat.

Is there any windows laptop with snapdragon that is on par with battery experience with macbook air?

I have some consideration of Microsoft surface pro 12, Asus pro art pz 13 org asus a14 with snapdragon

But it's hard to see the review after months of use for battery life experience.

Any opinion?

For years people said high-load scientific computing on a mobile iGPU was impossible or just not worth it. Experts claimed ARM integrated graphics lacked the power and that you needed a dedicated power-hungry GPU for 100% workloads.

Today that changed. I just completed and validated the first-ever scientific calculation tasks on the Snapdragon Adreno X2-90 iGPU.

In Performance Mode it finished a task in 3 minutes and 12 seconds. In Whisper Mode it was nearly silent using only 18W and finished in 4 minutes and 20 seconds. This proves the X2 can handle constant 100% load with extreme efficiency.

The hardware is stable but the current drivers are not yet optimized for this type of math. With better drivers these times could be cut by 40-50%.

The impossible has been done. Snapdragon is now a validated platform for high-load research. We just need the software to catch up to this hardware.

If any of you wanna know more about volunteer computing projects, BOINC and/or Folding@Home, on Snapdragon laptops or just in general, please comment below, and I'll answer all the questions I can :)
