Windows really needs to get their stuff together with the arm version

[MislavBušić]

This is THE BEST video about Snapdragon X Elite! I've seen 20-30 videos about this topic and nobody explained it like you did!
Thanks Josh!

Forget about Windows, I want to run arm Linux with MacBook battery life

[yensteel]

Hey, your video was just featured in Cold Fusion! They featured your criticism of AI laptops there. The video was discussing about AI-washing, like green washing but with AI, the biggest hype of 2023.

[yewo.m]

I think we should just be looking at it as a long term game, as there's still a lot that needs to be worked on

1:16 Hitting very close to home there Josh hahahaha
Great video btw!

[nazeerahmed]

This won't change anything until windows devs make arm builds...

[salmanfarooq]

i wish for linux compatibility, most software will recompile easy as it is open source

[GKahla]

Your critical perspective is always appreciated. I'm very interested in seeing a Linux desktop system running on this hardware. For basic usage and light code work, these would appear to be an appealing mix of light power use and significant NPU output. Great breakdown!

[caucasia_lucas]

I like this dude, Finally someone understand that hardware is not always what important, rossetta 2 was the key without it hardware would have not done it for apple.. with that said and knowing Microsoft. It wont be what i hope for . .

I'm excited about this. I've been tempted to get an M chip Macbook solely for the battery/power performance, but I'm just not a fan of the Mac OS.

[JohnnyStrides]

Fantastic video. With DaVinci Resolve onboard I'll be picking one of these up. Resolve often struggles to render projects on Windows laptops with less than 8GB VRAM as soon as you start using Fusion. It has no such issues on M series chips so this will be a game changer for those of us that need to use it on the road and dislike Macs.

[codeslacker]

I wish laptop manufacturer would come out with a hybrid CPU model whereby you have both ARM and x86 CPU on board.

On normal usage, only the ARM cpu will be utilized, saving power and runs cool. But when your application needs x86 to run, the x86 CPU will be run alongside, just like what we have with discete graphics.

Of course, Windows would need to support this kind of switching or parallel processing stuff, which I think they have no problem implementing this since server usually have dual CPU configuration but with same architecture of course.

This was a very honest video josh. Amazing, i've seen plenty of other videos on this subject but most of them were hyping it up big time.
Windows on ARM is still very bad imo (windows on x86 is already bad enough lol), i am hoping qualcomm and M$ would try their best to make a compelling product and force Apple to innovate even more but tbh i still find an M3 macbook pro to be a better option since it has a much more mature ecosystem and better performance overall. Apple will still have a monopoly for now so their prices will still be outrageous, even if qualcomm makes it as long as the price of this new hardware is too high, nothing has changed. Unless these new laptops offer better Linux support.

[opendoors]

It was good to see Josh and Max sit down and talk...this is what I like about Josh, he likes collaborating with other techies.

[nicolastran]

Any news on the linux compatibility video for laptops ?

[dandiaz]

so does this mean that it'll be a while before there's compatibility between ARM chips and dedicated GPUs?

[divine]

Damn, my dad just got decorilla last week. No idea Josh co-founded it.

[jocelynhergott]

5:50 "let me just be josh for a couple of minutes" excellent hahaha

[RobertTowell]

I really like the casual conversation. Thanks for including it.
