This video just reminded me how much I hate shopping for a laptop. There's never a single laptop that's consistent across the board.

[TheBigBazzy]

It seems like AMD has some secret sauce to really make x86 efficient while still maintaining full compatability. It's crazy how good AMD products are these days.

[KhizarKhan]

Finally an actual review of these new laptops, most other reviews feel like ads and lacked any proper comparasion with other laptops.

[KhizarKhan]

That ryzen 8840hs is really impressive, my next laptop is probably gonna have a zen 5 apu.

[sydguitar]

The AMD system is probably the most impressive to me, in terms of battery, performance and compatibility

[mr.yonosenada]

Thank you for taking the time to test and provide your results and opinion. Much appreciated!

[Benzin]

I've been a PC guy all my life and still am to this day. I bought an M1 Macbook Air 2 years ago. While the Snapdragon laptops are a valiant effort, Apple is still leagues ahead. I do love the competition though and ARM on Windows is a great thing for the future of portable PCs.

Great video team. Good to see such thorough testing!

It seems that your findings were somewhat similar to ours

Its going to be very interesting to see whether these are still relevant when AMD Zen 5 launches this Sunday!

[brianclarke]

The most amazing results here for me are in relation to the Zen4 AMD mobile processors. If we are getting that much efficiency with current gen X86 AMD CPUs, just imagine the greatness of Zen5.... Also, what's the point of sacrificing APP compatibility for an extra hour or two of battery life by going with ARM?

[Olvag]

Great video! the one I was looking for in a while... Thanks!

I think im going to stick with my 15" M2 and my linux based desktop workstation for some time 😂

[Kumoiwa]

Awesome video, it must have taken a lot of time and effort! Just a little thing to point out. Resolution also affects power consumption so the laptops with higher native resolution will consume more, so I would have appreciated the resolution nest to the laptop name in the power consumption graph at around @13:30

[jimbo]

These results make the Zenbook 14 OLED look the most balanced (between power, battery life and scores) of the bunch.

[ravipeiris]

Thank you for the days of work and research to create this video project ❤.

[happydaydreamer]

The best comparison and review I've seen so far of these systems. You put SO much work into your reviews, and editing and presentation is super comfortable. Thanks man!

[Gustavo_St]

First comprehensive plataform comparison I've seen. I have been waiting for this. Great stuff. The current Ryzen is really impressive. Can't wait for Zen 5.

[shApYT]

Microsoft hallucinating the demand for chatbots. I'll wait for framework to get in on the arm action.

[sebbbi]

Doing a ”definite review” just a couple of days before AMD’s big Ryzen AI (Zen 5) laptop launch is bad timing.

I guess we can blame AMD for delaying the Ryzen AI launch by 2 weeks. Must suck to redo all AMD data. Chip should have been out already.

[pcefbol]

X Elite is a great CPU, but for Qualcomm to compete with Apple in energy efficiency, they need to halve the CPU power and make significant investments in GPU drivers and performance. Apple must have a team of amazing chip designers to create such impressive fanless laptops.

[avinashlp]

Hands down - one of the best 'snapdragon laptop review/comparision' out there!
Great work guys!

[StarwoodTech]

This was the video I was waiting for. Thanks.
