Imagine referring to Microsoft's "Recall" as a must have feature unironically.

I feel like bill gates is in the background holding a shotgun

[patrickbrayne]

People always be forgetting that Windows RT was ARM

[nonsensicalfox]

This was a whole lot of nothing with words that were clearly chosen carefully lol

[petersziraki]

ARM in general is a really good thing, but MS should start thinking about why many people in general hate Windows 11. It looks more like adware or spyware, instead of an OS :( . I think that will affect how people will treat this new ARM era on the Windows side.

[bort]

Snapdragon X Elite is the brainchild of 3 former and integral Apple ARM chip designers who left and opened their own chip company, designed a promising chip very similar to M series Apple SoC and then Qualcomm bought them and rebadged that chip in mobile form. Thanks Apple.

I can't wait for Windows+snapdragon and Linux+snapdragon in tablet and most Mini PC YEA.

[DJPixcell]

Im just confused why this huge push comes after they announced the removal of android apps on windows. Imo this would be perfect reason to double down on that.

[Kapono]

All this Snap Dragon X Elite hype is really throwing up my Red Flag. Seems like they are Honey Dicking, otherwise the product should speak for itself if its that Good

[blindanddeaf]

While ARM coming to laptops is great, but oh god recall is a huge attack vector for bad actors or for even Microsoft to exploit in the future.

[lordvle]

Why would you not compare the performance of the high water elite chip to the M3 Max chip rather than the M3 chip? You know the one that also has 12 performance cores.

[LuciusAugustusRex]

Put this chip in a handheld please. I want 10+ hours of battery on my handheld

[irata]

Good video! I'm suree Qualcomm did the work. If this initiative fails, it'll probably be because of Windows being Windows.

[pweddy]

The funny thing about it is once you have a code base of apps that run under windows on Arm, that code base is important, A modern cell phone processor snapdragon 8 gen 3 or soon gen 4 probably could be a laptop replacement for a lot of people. (If you can live in 100% Arm native apps.)

Imagine Samsung Dex with Windows.

[FridiNaTor]

I'm excited, I am planning on getting the Dev kit

[marcinoo]

4:53 devices ship in 10 days but he don't have access to final hardware,

[Tealtealr]

Windows tablets and handheld will be insanely crazy

[phantomlumina]

I just want to know if the battery is really that good. Microsoft is notorious for lying about the battery life of their Surface lineup, which usually only get a fraction of the number of hours they suggest on their website, e.g. stating 16 hours for the Surface Pro 8/9 but you usually get around 4ish hours at best, and I am not talking about gaming or graphic intensive workload. I really hope the battery performance on these new Copilot PC Windows laptop will last all day so that I don't need to find a power outlet every time I work at a cafe or the library.

[oo--]

It has been 1 year and it is still not out yet, this is so dumb, the snapdragon x elite is probably gonna be terrible.

It is hard to overstate how hard it is to take you seriously when your content jumps around so much.
