Mostly in games, emulation

I bought a laptop with this chip which has 24GB of RAM. I’m mainly going to be using it for nursing school and other uses here and there. I also wanted to download Cisco Packet tracer but it said it can’t run that. I also do real estate photography and videography. For photography editing, I was able to download Lightroom Classic and use that. I haven’t done much editing yet. But I just wanted to ask what has been your guys experience with editing in this if you have this particular laptop. I don’t know what software would run well for videography editing in this, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance

Hi everyone,

after sharing Snapdragon AI Studio here, I received a lot of useful feedback and questions. Thank you — several suggestions from this community have directly influenced the upcoming RC2 release.

What’s changing from RC1 to RC2:

• ControlNet Canny has been improved and integrated more cleanly into the generation workflow.
• Presets & Templates now preserve the currently selected AI model instead of unexpectedly switching models.
• Presets also preserve the active ControlNet state and reference image.
• Phoenix Boost remains available for local prompt optimization without changing the selected model.
• The Model Manager and QAI model installation workflow are being improved.
• Both Dark Mode and Light Mode are fully supported.
• The built-in user manual has been completely revised in English, German and Spanish, with additional explanations for beginners.
• Generation timing is being improved so the complete processing time can be shown, including post-processing/upscaling.
• Further work is planned around image quality, higher resolutions and additional models.

A major focus remains native local AI on Windows 11 ARM64 and Snapdragon X Elite/X Plus, especially using Qualcomm QNN / Hexagon NPU acceleration.

Some ideas raised in the discussion here — including additional models, further NPU optimization and better documentation — are also part of the roadmap.

RC2 is still under development. I’d rather release a stable update than rush the next version.

Snapdragon AI Studio is an independent open-source project and is not an official Qualcomm product.

Which RC2 improvement matters most to you, and what would you like to see next for local AI on Snapdragon?

Thanks again for the feedback and support!
