To those with the snapdragon laptops. Do you still find battery life to be an "advantage"?

NotebookCheck compared both "For Business" models with Intel's Lunar Lake and consumer models with Snapdragon X Elite and found that on the Surface Pro 11, the Intel config lasted similarly for web browsing but the Snapdragon config lasted an hour longer in video playback probably because they idled

Anyone using those new Qualcomm ARM laptops? Worth it?

I've been using the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 which comes with the Snapdragon chip (X Elite), for almost a year now. For your use case, it will be perfect. The performance is also really good, flies through everything I use it for. App compatibility is also drastically improving every day. Photosho

Microsoft's crazy Surface price hikes are pushing me to Apple: I can no longer recommend Surface over a MacBook or iPad

I have the 15" Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with Intel cpu and it is by far the worst laptop I have owned. The performance and battery life are the biggest dissapointments, the laptop never feels snappy and after 4 tot 5 hours I need to charge it again. Audio playback is insanely loud, even at 3% and

Macbook Neo vs Microsoft Surface Laptop 7

You can buy three MacBook Neo’s for one Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (15") Snapdragon X Elite -16GB ram, so if you could use your 2 hands and 2 feet and look at three screens of the three neo’s at the same time you might get a bit dizzy but used together at the same time they will smoke the one surfac

Considering switching to Surface from Mac + iPad

Where did you get the info? The SoCs should at least be on par, with SD Elite performing much better in multi-core tasks while M4 handles single-core better. https://www.rtings.com/laptop/reviews/microsoft/surface-laptop-7th-edition-15-2024 vs. https://www.rtings.com/laptop/reviews/apple/macbook-pro

What Is the situation of Windows on arm in 2026?

Don't buy anyone but Microsoft's. I just got a brand new Asus A16 Zenbook and while the hardware is great, the "tweaks" they make to their version of Windows make it into a steaming pile of crap. Search and Indexing are broken and don't work. The Copilot key doesn't work. This was out-of-the-box beh

Asus' Snapdragon Zenbook lineup and pricing revealed in Japan

Genuinely don't understand why AMD released a chip this weak under the Ryzen 7 branding. Only 6 cores (12 threads), only 4 CUs. Multicore performance the same as the slowest Snapdragon X. It's only slightly faster than the 10 core X Plus in single core, from 2 years go. In everything else the 10 cor

People who use tablets as laptops, what’s your experience like? And which tablet you are using?

I received a Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with Intel cpu and it never worked well so I switched to my Lenovo Yoga tab plus 12.7" Android tablet and it has been great. Everything runs butter smooth, the screen goes way brighter than the surface laptop, I even prefer the touchpad and keyboard that comes
