Dave PLEASE test the sleep state behaviors. The most infuriating thing about current Windows laptops is the awful sleep states where it force quits all your apps (yes sleep, not hibernate), and then takes 2 minutes to get fully up and running past all the startup processes even on high end machines. Forget battery life and efficiency, I just want a laptop that's ready to go when I open it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for good emulation performance, it's time we got efficient, powerful chips at affordable rates.

Hopefully this is the beginning of quieter Windows laptops that don't blast fans unless they're performing actually heavy tasks.

If these ARM chips can emulate x86 as good as they say, the Microsoft Surface would become a better product than the iPad Pro since it'll actually run on a capable desktop OS.

My first YouTube subscription was to Dave2D around 8 years ago, and I am more amazed at how he hasn't aged at all since I first started watching his videos.

This would look 100x better if the upper bezel and the side bezels would be the same width

Keyboard and pen for $450 is definitely not cheaper than before. Insane price for a keyboard.

I left windows for the MacBook Air M2, I use that laptop for 2-3 days before charging, have had it since its release, and love it. If widows laptops had done this earlier I’d probably still be with them. Glad to see them finally making a change.

I think the biggest challenge for these new Snapdragon X laptops will be the emulation of x86 apps. If Qualcomm can get the emulation to work well, then these laptops could be a game-changer for Windows on ARM.

0:57 The Surface Laptop Studio from 2 years ago had rounded corners

[MrCarzo]

Watching Intel slide into irrelevance because they havent innovated in a decade has been such a wild ride.

[AdamConder]

I never thought I'd see a Macbook Air with a windows sticker on it.

[mop]

just make the rounded corners a software feature, the oled has good enough black levels to hide them

[ilyasz]

Honestly the only thing I would like from this situation is for ARM Windows to become good enough so people can figure out how to dual boot macs with it :)

[rafiqmuhamad]

Surface as a premium laptop still giving 256 for based model. What a shame in 2024.

[shashankdogra]

My man killing it with those Uniqlo T shirts lately.

[rahulbiswas]

Doesn't matter if it's Intel or AmMD or snapdragon. If you buy asus, warranty will be screwed for ya

[AhmedSh-nclj]

I'm still a bit suspicious on how Windows will work (or won't work) with ARM...

[alexdenton]

I am also going to pre-order the latest Surface Laptop and replace my Mac mini with it.

Not only is Copilot plus PC impressive, but I have always preferred Windows for video games. Since I am subscribed to Shadow, it’s perfect for me—plenty of power and battery life to last a long time without charging, while still having access to my Windows in the cloud for gaming.
