Cheaper Snapdragon X Is Here! First Look at Lenovo's 8-Core X Plus Arm Laptops

[@stonec8238]

I got the Lenovo one. It failed to playback 4K video (200Mbps, .MOV) taken from my camera smoothly, just very choppy. My Samsung S22 is handling the same video with no issues..

can in put linux on these?

[@tunkunrunk]

Since when Windows OS can run on ARM cpus ? We can see in the video, Windows 11 on the laptops

[@KeeseToast]

Windows is able to run on ARM for quite a while now. It just wasn't really good until Qualcomm released their Snapdragon X processors earlier this year. Microsoft went full-in on ARM with their latest Surface line-up and so-called Copilot+ PCs. They als released a new translation layer to run x86 apps on Windows ARM and have convinced much more developers to bring ARM native versions to Windows.

@@KeeseToast wow ! things change quickly in the computers field ,what was impossible yesterday becomes a reality the next day . I remember the earlier Microsoft surface tablets with windows RT , I was about to buy one of them , but when I read it wasn't a full windows OS , I changed my mind

@@tunkunrunk yep, software support is still bad, so i would wait until it improves

[@MrRayrenz]

it's still fairly new but I hope more software supports it the way others have made theirs run natively for Apple Silicon chips as well.
