Have you checked out battery life on ARM powered laptops? My Lenovo Yoga last a lot longer on battery unplugged and yet without having to dim the screen nor reduce CPU performance. Put it this way my Snapdragon Lenovo is faster, brighter and last way longer than x86 laptops unplugged. And my Lenovo Yoga ISN'T a SD laptop. It's a 3K HD laptop. My config on this laptop is on max yet still last 10 hours on battery. I had to either reduce screen brightness and CPU performance of my former x86 laptop or had to bear an ultra short battery life which could last an hour at best.

the comments im seeing here are so wierd? some of them feel like ai while others are hate comments for something minuscule??

[@vladmihai306]

get the software support and then i'll try an arm laptop. until then, it's amd for me

[@t8polestarcyan22]

General apps run well on ARM as they're made for them now.

[@william254]

3 years behind is not a problem if the software is well optimized. Harmony OS is doing just that. Besides benchmarks never reflect real world performance

[@RobloxianX]

The "ARM Wave" all of these x86 haters begged for never happened! Crazy... Almost like Apple has been trying to do this for 6 years with their iPad Pro and 4 years with their Macs and they STILL haven't gotten full support for even a proper Bootcamp successor yet. x86 is easily going to be the primary architecture for all power users up to the 2030s

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I would like to stick on x86 but not anymore. They're now more suited for desktops and servers as ARM are far more efficient for mobile computing. My Lenovo Yoga Snapdragon is doing so well that x86s are no longer suited for unplugged mobile computing. I see lots of people plugging their x86 laptops in libraries.

@@t8polestarcyan22 I mean, Core Ultra 200V somehow managed to get higher battery life and performance than the Snapdragon chips. To be honest, I have no idea how they managed to pull it off.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

@@RobloxianX Good to know. Next thing is to see how that really goes. My Snapdragon really do last 5 - 10 hours on battery WITHOUT any "sacrificial" tweaks. It's a moment of truth to see if that happens on that Core Ultra 200V.

I used to have Huawei P90. it was confiscated by U.S government. They actually cut of landline and remove all Huawei land line. Yes, I saw it. there's cameo dudes, telephone companies installing new transmitter box. US government even confiscated all huawei phones at Best Buy, Target, etc. U.S government cannot let you have it. Not everywhere in USA and Chinatown.

wanted to buy a snapdragon laptop, but the price is higher than mac, amd and intel. and since i want to also game, amd it is

Buying a 1.2 million score phone is not a problem, the problem is Huawei's is their flagship and will be much more expensive than a regular 1.2 mil score phone.

Good, Snapdragon PCs were really bad. Poor support, less freedom with no option to dual boot and no upgradable components.

[@Dominus_Potatus]

I want Snapdragon X laptop but all of those are expensive AF while cannot do more than any regular laptop except its superior battery life. The problem is Ryzen mobile chip can do 1 day battery life. You are rarely need 2 days battery life laptop. 2 days battery life is nice to have but not twice the better than 1 day battery life.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Expensive? I'd say not with my Lenovo Yoga 3K Snapdragon X Elite. As for battery life I don't need to make "sacrificial" tweaks on my ARM laptop which I normally do on my former x86 laptops otherwise my x86 could last an hour at best.

[@Dominus_Potatus]

@@t8polestarcyan22 you are living in the europe or NA, I assume. So... as a comparison, a local brand offers $450, 14" with Ryzen 5 6600H + 16GB RAM + 512GB NVMe. It can do work minimum 5 hour office job on battery. It is the point... affordable laptop for everyone. That laptop you mention is priced USD 1444 in a country where median income is around $400. Just remember that majority of people live in Asia and Asia is not known for its wealth. The question is... if AMD can do cheap with Ryzen 5 6600H why can't Qualcomm make one? Remember that Ryzen 6600H uses Zen3+ which has great balance between performance and power consumption. Make a $600 laptop with Snapdragon, the cheapest SKU, with at least 16GB RAM and see how it will sell. Based on my observation, the cheapest laptop with Snapdragon X plus is priced around $750 and it is not even selling well.

[@harry_f317]

Those laptops with snapdragon x elite were far too expensive. I would have bought one myself but ooted for a huawei laptop with an intel chio.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Really? My Lenovo Snapdragon X Elite is well priced for this performance category. Even better is the battery life.

@@t8polestarcyan22 yours is 3k its hell expensive i have a pc with rtx 4090 that costs less then your laptop

Huawei is the most innovative company in the world. It's products are the best among all phones. All my family phones are Huawei. And we are ASEAN not Chinese.
