Man I waited so long for this I ended up just buying one a week ago =) But great vid nevertheless and confirms my opinion so far. I got the cheapest one + keyboard and slim pen (the cheaper, non flex keyboard) with a student discount all in plus tax for a little over $1200. Other reviews and my experience so far confirm that the X Elite chip and OLED screen are not worth the added cost, at least for my use case of standard office type tasks and almost everything else within a browser. I wanted my 11” M1 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil to be my do everything device but it was just so frustrating to get anything done on it. File management, dragging and dropping, anything I’ve wanted to do so far just works on the Surface (obviously, thanks to full windows OS). Won’t be going back to iPad until they actually put a real OS on it, which likely will never happen.
The iPad Pro running iPad apps is the biggest stumbling block for the design. There's so much power under the hood, all hamstrung by mobile app design and a mobile OS.
I am myself checking out the laptops with Intel lunar lake chips. More compatible and there are 2in 1’s like the Lenovo Yoga’s and Samsung Book 5 360. The lunar lake chips have incredible battery life too according to the reviews coming out. People are blown away by the efficiency. I have everything Apple. I’ve had an Ipad Pro 12.9 since 2018 as my daily. With the latest Windows chips on offer being so efficient, and the components of 120 hz refresh rate, high end screens, 32 gb ram etc is something Apple doesn’t offer unless you fork out wayy more money. Apple still builds their laptops sturdy, but how much are we willing to pay for that when Windows laptops are now closing in on the gap. Fun times for consumers.
Is that Lunar Lake Chips laptop already out? Does that come with cellular connectivity? Looking for one with a good battery and cellular connectivity. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.
@@anilkumar1971 I have only myself seen them on youtube reviews but should be available soonish. I dont know about cellular connectivity, I bet you can find that on the websites of the different brands. I am not an expert on the windows laptops as I have been in the Apple world since forever. But it looks like Lenovo makes all kinds of laptops for every need, screen size and 2 in 1’s. The Thinkpad series have good build, quite premium price tag too. That series have 2 in 1’s as well. Samsung as I said just released one called Galaxy book 5 360. Only seen these on the youtube reviews. I would recommend trying them out in real life first.
actually it's better than x86 windows, it feels snappier than Lunar lake laptop (zenbook s14) but app compatibility is still a main deal breaker for me 😭
Great video! Too bad about the hardware encode. Hoping Qualcomm does something like Intel's quicksync and enables all this via software to make it easier for creators.
Lightroom on x86 Windows is also stupidly slower than the one on my Galaxy Tab S8. Adobe just unfortunately doesn't care about properly optimizing their apps for Windows
Yes, when I visited their headquarters they mentioned they wanted to make sure it was clear this was separate from the Qualcomm name so I referred to Snapdragon as a group of products and the team behind it. Sorry for the confusion.

Hahaha sorry for the delay man! But glad you like your experience thus far! I'm actually working on a short form vid for this model soon too!

Maybe I'll consider something like this when I need to upgrade to a new laptop/mobile workstation.
Been using the Laptop Studio 2 since release. Great laptop overall, just wish it had better thermals.
What kaybord you have use at home pc? Looks great.
Super exciting to see how far Windows on ARM has come along!

I hope so, that would be a welcome update 🙏
Overall recommended? X plus fast enough?
Truly depends on use case. X Plus should be more than enough for basic computing. In my case the X Elite is necessary for a heavier workflow
@ overall recommended? Considering performance and battery life?
Yes definitely overall recommended
Gen 2 will be awesome.
I'm new here after watching your thread post.... ❤I think I'm not regrating... Your channel is awesome.... Wayyyy to go buddy...

Can we charge surface pro 11 with 65gan pd charger through usb c port directly
Yes, as I am charging surface 7 with 65 watt pd charger for many months now
Would you say this or an M2 Macbook is better for Davinci Resolve Video editing?
Does the kickstand wobble a bit at certain angles?
There is no "Snapdragon" company. It's Qualcomm. Snapdragon is a product name.
Yes, when I visited their headquarters they mentioned they wanted to make sure it was clear this was separate from the Qualcomm name so I referred to Snapdragon as a group of products and the team behind it. Sorry for the confusion.
just stick to the macbook pro with M series rather than this for video creator. SP11 not recomended now coz compability issue and performance
Well done...
that thumbnail 😀 bro i need to know how you created it??
I will definitely get a samsung s9 tablet + asus zehpyrus g14 ryzen r9 4050 rtx 90w 32gb .... best of 2 world at its best
Watching this with coffee. Let’s go!
Ayeee! Enjoy the coffee bro! (and the video)
6:30 If it runs GTA smoothly it's enough for me 😆
😂
wow, what a story, this makes me want one! bye bye iPad!
such a good review, love the long form content!
a lot of these cons feel so similar to my Surface Pro X 😂
Haha very similar processors so very similar problems. But this new line of processors from Snapdragon brought the better battery, and performance.
You're handsome 😊
hi bro that was helpfull,
and cool laptop
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 👊
Long form gang 🔥
My guy! We're doing it 👊
