      I am disappointed with the different versions of 1 Chip. That will create more confusion when buying these laptops.
      Why did they do that? Couldn't they just stay with 2 chips?
      I hate Apple, but their naming scheme is better and straightforward. M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max.

    One major point you missed is screen brightness. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x has 1000 nit HDR, which is exceptional and really makes a huge difference for daytime use. It also has 70w battery, despite being one of the lightest, thinnest, and cheapest laptops in the list for the specs... I honestly feel they underpriced it compared to the others lol. For these reasons, it's what I'll be going for.

      The chassis is thin, so who knows how much of the actual performance of the chip you will get. Reviewers will have to find out if the cooling is adequate, or how much it throttles. It's a nice looking laptop, but I wanted a 14" for more portability. Their 14" has the mid tier SKU, so it will be interesting to see how much difference in performance the dual core boost gives.

    To me Lenovo appears the way to go, on lenovo website you can custom build and upgrade to 32 gb memory and 1 TB SSB for only $35 each, beats the $400 Apple would have charged for the same upgrades. As well, if considering the Asus computer, Costco is selling an upgraded 32 gb version for the same price as other sellers, so might as well buy from them. Waited to see if Apple would drop hardware today, and their presentation was unremarkable so looking into these PCs (first PC in over a decade for me, but he AI assistant feature with copilot is a gamechanger, a built in tutor for virtually anything such as content creation, programming, etc.).

    Good video. I ended up preordering the Lenovo Slim 7x based on it having the least number of compromises (I can get the full 32GB of memory, OLED, huge battery, etc). My runners up were similar to your selection, the Surface Laptop and the Galaxy Book4 Edge. I can't wait to see the Cosmic Blue color in person, and evaluate the Snapdragon X Elite. I'm hugely optimistic after being disappointed by Intel laptops for so long. Another positive aspect is that Linux support for this hardware should be in place after kernel release 6.11, which will be in a few months.

      Slim 7x can be configured for 32GB for a +$35 upgrade (and also 1TB SSD for $37). That is the cheapest you can get the 32GB of RAM. I think the CPU performance/boost is mostly unimportant, any of them will be fine. It's the NPU that's compelling, where more RAM is very useful. It seems like they all have equal NPU performance.

    After considering all the specs for some days I would go for Acer Vivobook S15. It has 120Hz, a relatively good port selection, I can connect an external monitor without port replicator. It has no touch, but I found myself never using that anyways. About battery life I read that it is a bit lower than the Lenovo, but maybe it is a driver thing. As right now (per what I have read) the igpu bottlenecks the snapdragon, it is mostly not important which tier you choose, all are mostly slowed down by the graaphics. The chip can address 64GB RAM, but 64GB is not available yet. So I wait for the next gen with stronger graphics (or dedicated graphics) and 64GB RAM, as right now my notbook is just fine for what i am currently doing.

Wish I could future proof it with 32gb but it's overkill right now for a non gaming pc.

I do wish I had gone with the 15-inch, but I was attracted to the Sapphire color only available in 13.8-inch. Everything works great. All the APPS I use work.

But the price point for the Snapdragon is too expensive, in my opinion.
      I would wait on benchmarks cause Lunar Lake seems very impressive. Also, AMDs Strix Halo, although Halo, I'm guessing it won't match Intel or Qualcomm on battery life, but it will be def a good performer.
      I was hoping for 800 us laptops for the Snapdragon.
      Hence, I prefer a macbook. Most macos apps already migrated to arm instructions. But Windows Apps most will stay in x86 for the distant future. It's not profitable for developers to jump in the wagon until Arm has a significant marketshare. It won't happen overnight. It might take 5 to 8 years.

    What is the driver situation for WinArm? I got some Epson scanners and older but still good USB accessories like screen calibration thingy and webcam, plus an old crypto wallet somewhere. If it can't drive all my peripherals then the whole discussion is moot. Not gonna touch it.

    My preference is the OLED screen, large battery & card reader. You should have mentioned the all-round choice and the most value for money, which I guess you might have mentioned right at the end ??? Can't understand why Windows isn't native to ARM yet after working on it for over a decade. Performance I believe will take a mandatory hit of 15%, I guess that's not bad. Will this mean the return of Windows phones on ARM ? It would be interesting to see you compare ARM against the remaining market of X86 laptops from COMPUTEX for the prize of world's best.

  • @FahadAhmadi

    since MS Widows ARM needs 11 GB of ram after start (before running any applications), I prefer 32GB ram machines, in my country Asus Vivibook comes with 32GB ram with the same price and 5% discount, I will go with Asus Vivo book S 15 because I need large screen with HDMI, unfortunately ASUS Vivobook comes with Elite X78 model which is the worst sanpdragon processors even with Plus model.

I think it's worth waiting to see how AMD Ryzen AI 300 series laptops compare, but that won't make it into a Surface Pro.

    I think the chipset is limited to 4k at 60hz for an external display. So even if laptops have HDMI 2.1 it may not do it. Something for someone to check...?

  • @MartinPeterB
    @MartinPeterB 6 місяців тому +1

    Sorry but that review misses one of the most important part. They are made for Copilot+ so the target audience are developers which means local LLMs are the selling points. If you wanna use and train them the more RAM the better. So every option under 32GB Ram shouldnt be considered at all. If you want a consumer laptop there is no argument currently to use a Snapdragon

    • @ekinteko
      @ekinteko 7 місяців тому +2

      I basically knew this would happen. If Qualcomm was (more) serious about entering this market, and out-competing Intel and AMD they would have taken extra measures.
      For instance, they could do a "Partnership Program" where they offer deep discounts but the laptops must be vetted and meet a certain criteria. I think they did something similar, but they shouldve strived for more.
      For instance, the average Intel Laptop chipset ranges from USD $200 (large scale, slower models), on average about USD $400, and upto USD $700 (small batch, fast chipsets).
      So what if Qualcomm actually did NOT release any of the EliteX Low and Plus models. What if they only released ONE single sku, let's just say the EliteX-80. All the other models are to be released in 6+ months time. You know what they say about first impressions, and missed chances. And what if the cost of this EliteX-80 chipset was let's say USD $300, so it's cheaper than the competing $500 Intel chipsets. BUT. Those prices are reserved for 6+ months in time. But if you enter the Partnership Program, you can get the chipset 6+ months early and it costs you only USD $200 which is a big savings to the OEM. But the criteria is along the lines of 1440p or higher screen, HDR10 certification, 32GB RAM min, 1TB nVme min, and pricing that is around $500 cheaper than the market standard.
      Everyone will say GREAT, yes, please go and BUY it. And while Qualcomm may feel sad to miss out on the Profit Margins, and so will the OEMs, remember this is just the Partnership Program. It can be finalised within 6 months. Which means the deals come and go. And the next releases will come with cheaper/slower chipsets and at higher prices, more variants, and with specs that have more freedom from the OEMs. It will be like the "aha moment" from Apple with the M1 Air and the 14in M1 Max, which would really earn Qualcomm a good reputation.
      Jacking up prices later won't be great for the consumer, but supposedly other players can enter this market. Like Nvidia, Amazon, Samsung, and MediaTek. So that could cool-off the prices. Besides there is also price pressure on the Windows Laptop market from the dominant Intel and the innovative AMD competition.
      So yah, that's my two cents.

    One think i am looking for in Windows laptops since i used a magic trackpad is a haptic trackpad in a Windows machine.
    I recently bought a used m1 macbook pro 13 and evne though i definately prefer the Windows Precision driver settings instead of what Apple offers as customization for the Trackpad and Windows in general over MacOS, i cant stress enough how much better the haptic trackpad feeld compared to a "diving" style trackpad.
    That alone for me is one of the main reasons why, even though I just got a "new" macbook and dont really need another portable pc, i still consider buying the Surface Laptop 7...

    I'm debating between the Yoga Slim 7x and the Acer Swift 14 AI, the Acer should have a few more hours of battery since it has a lower resolution IPS display instead of OLED and a larger battery, but the Yoga is most likely gonna be better built and has an amazing display. The Acer would also be cheaper, the 32GB version of the Yoga is 1800€ here and even the X Plus is quite a bit faster than my current laptop
    But strix point could be interesting to wait for as the performance at 28w is looking stellar from leaked benchmarks, especially on the iGPU side of things and 28w isn't all that difference from the 23w the Snapdragon runs at in these so it could be a good alternative

    The Surface is not the only hybrid or convertible, though. Asus has a similar offering in the ProArt PZ13. That's a 13 inch tablet with a 3K display at 60Hz (bummer), 70Wh of battery and a detachable (but not wireless) keyboard. It's basically a much slimmer ROG Flow Z13 with a Snapdragon on it. Although don't be fooled by the 800g weight they report, the kickstand is magnetic and the keyboard is detachable, so I don't think either is counted. Also, interestingly, IP52 water and dust resistance, which is weird.
    No preorders yet, but they do have it listed on ASUS's site.

      @@rushabjain7485 They say 70Wh, which is just as big or bigger than many of the laptops covered here. Same hardware, same battery and a 60Hz screen, so I assume the battery life would be comparable. But I'm very curious about the actual battery life tests for all of these in any case. Considering the X64 Surface could barely break 5h in actual use the difference is going to be interesting.

      @@rushabjain7485 The video you're commenting on literally breaks down the specs of a dozen of them, all that info is in there.
      The ASUS keyboard is not wireless, it connects with pogo pins and is held on magnetically, like the Surface keyboards do currently. It's worth calling out that it's not wireless because the new Surface has a keyboard that can do both physical connection with the pins AND bluetooth when disconnected form the pins. It's also 400 bucks, so you should not buy it for literally any reason, but it's worth noting the ASUS version doesn't do that.
      ASUS has historically packed in the keyboard and pen with its convertibles, too, which is worth noting because it makes a big price difference, but I can confirm that they're doing the same this time, honestly.
