Great hands-on! I especially appreciate how you opened up the laptop to show the internals. They do not look much different from an x64 laptop's internals, honestly, but that shouldn't really matter much.

I was really hoping to get some Gordon Benchmarks of this!

Love you Gordon! So great to always see you, you are awesome!!!

What a great review, so good to have your unique point of view, experience and expertise available to usher in this new range of interesting ARM-architecture Qualcomm PC's. Your absence over the last months was worrysome and now it looks as though you are back to stay! So good to see you at work again! Looking forward to watching all your coming reviews and analyses!

Gordon is the best! The laptop looks great too...hopefully, it'll be great in the real world.

Even the native games are problematic, so it must be very old game if you want to emulate properly (it has only a bit better GPU like a current flagship Android phone, so a few games what they showed only was capable to run with 30-40fps on just 1080p.. if you add that they need any emulation for that, it's just further decrease the already low performance.. i mean Vulkan is one of the worst in stability, so there is a huge gap in the min/max fps, so if the game average fps just 30-40 than you will deffinetly notice the 15-20 fps moments, even if you consider the 30fps as playable state)

I had an ARM PC back in the late 80's. I'm looking forward to seeing the new 2024 versions.

So the longer M2 2280 SSDs would be incompatible on the T14s? What about the Yoga?

If we hear fan noise or not doesn't depend on the ISA but only in the TDP and the general efficiency with daily tasks.

But what about someone like myself who's in publishing (so I need the media functions like the superior display, audio, etc.) but wants the durability and reliability of the Thinkpad line? This is a middle ground that no one seems to be addressing effectively, and it should be easy for Lenovo, imo. Terrific review, thank you!

I was thinking about the same thing. I want this business ThinkPad but with Mini-LED 165Hz display. I currently own X1 Carbon and it is a great laptop, just requires better battery life and display to be perfect.

Yep, that's the key. Of course Microsoft and the manufacturers don't want you to really think about it since they're talking about native apps but if there is to be a real transition to ARM for the PC platform in general that emulation needs to be very good or it just won't happen, again.

The Slim 7x is my #1 pick. Does the hinge allow folding the screen all the way back 2 in 1 style? Also only the 16GB Slim 7x sku is up for pre-order but will there be a 32GB sku?

Great overview, thanks

Anyone knows if RAM in these Snapdragon laptops is embedded in the SOC as is the case in Apple’s M processors?

I love lenovo, 10+ yrs 4gb ram, still running fine.

Sending you well wishes Gordon… I’ve been a fan since MaximumPC days in the 1990s! These ARM laptops are looking great, and seem to deliver a significant shot across the bow of Intel. Intel has been struggling to deal with a resurgent AMD (especially in the data center). The question now is how Intel will deal with the threat of an ARM invasion in Client? How are the compatibility of Windows apps on the ARM platform, is the Windows Prism emulator working well? Would you recommend an ARM laptop over say waiting for Intel Lunar Lake / Arrow Lake?

Gordon is a real one.

This looks promising and solid. Even though I wanted a X13s, I'll to wait a year, maybe even more, just to get field reviews from more users.

Very curious about the graphics perf on these… light gaming? Even productivity apps and browsing is GPU accelerated these days!

I like your gshock. Loving the competition that will be coming since arm is open source.

The data sheet says the Yoga Slim 7x has a touch display - are you able to use it in tablet mode?

Igpu needs to surpass 780m and im all in. Especially on a handheld gaming pc or gpd win mini style device. So many possibilities

looking good gordon. stay strong!😊😊😊

I really hope the build quality doesn't suck. I'm currently on a yoga slim 7 and after 2 years it's literally falling apart. The prices compared to the surface laptop are insane tho

Looks promising, upgradable RAM with LPCAMM2 would be amazing, I miss the 3,5 mm jack dual device Bluetooth is a mess

I am now left wondering would a snapdragon x elite handheld actually be possible because it would be nice to have one with way better battery life

Yoga is a good brand, we have one with an AMD chip but even with 15 W TDP it gets "too hot" so I'm pleased ARM is doing the same performance with 7 watts.

Thank the gods for the Fn and Ctrl buttons are in the right place on that ThinkPad

WithIn slow future, we gono see this ARM architecture machines with current gaming laptops large heatpipe design cuze slowly they will need more TDP power and will eventually generate more heat, so it will eventually be similar (2023 or 2024 etc... heatpipe cooling design) with only processor or SOC that's being changing from x86/x64 to ARM architecture.

And with an already dead end technology.. or did you missed that part it's already need 12 power cores to give you this..? I mean the M1 Max doubled the power cores/performance and the M1 Ultra quadtrupled the power cores/performance.. but this chip need almost the same power cores like the M1 Ultra (it had 16, but those power cores gives you the performance..), so how they want to give us any better chip, what can rival the stronger Apple chip..? Because this chip is sucks on that, even on 80W you only gain 10% more performance (from 23W to 80W is about 250% extra power consumption and just 10% extra performance, so deffinetly not capable for any desktop, even if you pump 200W into it, the performance won't raise..)

@@TamasKiss-yk4st There's no point in fixating on core count and per-core performance since Qualcomm's and Apple's parts aren't directly comparable even though they're both ARM-based, just like with Intel and AMD despite both companies producing x86 CPUs. The only thing that truly matters is overall performance and battery life, and that still remains to be seen for these new Snapdragons.

@Gustavo_St

Ай бұрын

@@TamasKiss-yk4st As far as I understand, the improvement from M to M Pro, then M Max, then M Ultra is essentially chip size, with a corresponding increase in TDP. Sure more things are added, but essentially, chip size and allowed TDP. Snapdragon X was derived from Nuvia, which itself was formed by ex Apple engineers. Their design was different from M's for focusing solely on performance cores. But in the end these are only design choices, what matters is that the current design matches or exceeds the M3 for performance and power consumption. As for how much room for improvement each platform has, that I wouldn't know. Apple's own M3 vs M2 improvement came with some not so clever tricks such as increased size and allowed TDP, which points to slowing pace of improvement. And in fact the M4 chip is rumored to be on the same path. That would even be the reason why Apple skipped the M3 and went straight to M4 in the latest iPad Pros. Performance difference between them was not so huge, so better go for the added marketing impact. Everything points to diminishing returns on future M chips. Let's see how Snapdragons do.

No mention of emulation performance?

Dell were (are? probably) putting 97Wh batteries in their ultrabooks, think we'll see anything like this in these ARM laptops or is it a bit excessive given how long even a 70Wh apparently lasts?

I'm actually quite excited about the systems coming available in June and particularly the offerings from Lenovo. I depend heavily upon my Lenovo Thinkpad L13. I know it's on the lower end of the Thinkpad lineup, but it has faithfully served my modest needs without any problems. I was disappointed when Lenovo (apparently) discontinued the initial release of the gen 4 series of the L13 lineup. Not sure what happened, but the reviews seemed poor. I suspect that is why Lenovo points customers to the new X1 series. I'm hopeful that Lenovo will restore the L13 lineup using the snapdragon elite processor. An L13 with 16GB of RAM and a 512TB SSD would do very nicely. I'd even settle for the 1920x1200 screen, as long as it was built on the 16:10 standard. The forthcoming T14s is a great looking system, but the cost would prevent any purchase by me. In contrast, an L13 snapdragon configuration could come in at a much lower price point. I believe a LOT of people would buy such a system. I believe the key word going forward is patience.

price forecasts ??

👍 MVP

Looks like dram at high speed 8000MTps and ssd needed passive cooling. Damn Wi-Fi is soldered. Only 5G and SSD is replaceable on a ThinkPad. Good to see you Gordon. Especially like the Casio than x Elite laptop

I would really like to see the ThinkPad X1 Nano with the new ARM processors. Or any alternative - slimmer and lighter than MacBook Air. I think there is no reason for ancient USB A ports on T14s.

PLEASE, get us Linux running on these!

who needs an overview of the laptop's exterior or interior, I think everyone expected its real work at the M3 level with video rendering speed and other technical indicators compared to M3.

I don't accept that the LPDDR5X has to be soldered. CAMM2 supports LPDDR5X and it is already out in the market. You can buy it today though apparently, it takes 2 weeks to ship. If all ARM-based laptops are going to be soldered, I don't feel like I am going to be comfortable buying them. Soldered RAM bothers me may more than soldered storage, especially with USB 4 and network storage options. I feel like I might as well buy a Macbook. It's not like these are particularly cheap. While faster today, my guess is the m4 MacBooks might change that. Like I am open to ARM on Windows now that the performance is approaching high-end x86 laptop processors at a fraction of the power but we need to know iGPU performance. There is also the question of whether they will support PCIe GPUs in the form of either external GPUs or internally. I am cautiously optimistic but if the m4 family has even remotely decent Ray tracing in professional apps I might just give up on Windows.

Hope Gordon gets better!
