Hey Chaps! Are you thinking about getting a Snapdragon laptop??

Also forgot to mention Xbox app won't run games locally (cloud streaming only)

If you buy a snapdragon laptop at this time, you’re an early adopter, and you will face issues in games. I guess game developers got taken by surprise here, and the awareness needs to grow that there are now 3 cpu’s on which games need to be tested.

Can't believe you tested Minecraft legends and not real Minecraft Java 😭

Considering it's not a gaming laptop until it runs well, Qualcomm said it already has 1200 optimized games. It is the first generation, I am sure that in the future we will have many related news.

Who would have thought that Qualcomm would design a laptop chip

[promisemasimba]

For me I'll wait for the second generation of the x elite and for the ecosystem to mature. It's a big problem when certain programs essential for your work crush or not run at all. For me getting a PC with an intel chip whilst I wait for arm to mature is a wiser decision.

I think I will daily drive an Arm windows PC a year from now since this looks promising.

The test we were all waiting for, yet somehow most youtubers skipped

I recently bought the Samsung one with the faster X Elite CPU and what works is great but some stuff just doesn't run at the moment. It is no gaming laptop but with support and a generational leap in GPU I think that it has potential to be the go-to thin and light of gaming as the performance/watt ratio is good. ARM feels like the future IMO, hence why I early adopted, even though things are not 100% ATM.

Great video, thanks for putting this together. One quick note on SOTTR (around 2:41) ... the game actually does use DX12 (or DX11) despite it saying "No display adapter installed". The reason it says "No display adapter installed" is not because DX12 or Vulkan crashed the game, its because the game searches for an integrated GPU along the PCI bus and the Adreno GPU is enumerated using ACPI, not PCI. Overall I do recommend one of these Snapdragon laptops, they are thin and light with great all-day battery life and don't get too hot or too noisy.

They can tweak the translation layer all they want, but ARM has a very low ceiling for x86, especially with GPU operations. Their only way is ironically with more power.

[fightnight]

I'm glad that Windows is finally on the right path with ARM chipsets. I'm excited for the compact laptops for web browsing and media usage as I hate tablets and not a big fan of Macs.

[neilmontgomery]

It does seem to me that reviewers were much kinder to Apple regarding the lack of native apps and lack of gaming chops when they launched the M1.

[christianr.]

This chip is really gonna shine with emulation. Hopefully ryujinx gets a native WoA version

[mont-doggBeats]

the problem will always be windows software whether arm or x86. windows needs a complete overall

[TheSonyExperience]

Naming is stupid. Call them all Elite but then having different skus of elite will make this confusing to the laymen. They should have just done a plus pro and Elite naming scheme.

[yasendrungov]

"80% better GPU performance" my a@@
Knew this was a hype train months ago

[rugbymaycryoneil]

I just received my latitude 7455 and loving it so far! I am also testing a bunch of games, Resident Evil Village runs surprisingly well via steam Big Picture.

[ktvx.]

I'm more interested in the product than I'm interested in buying it. Way too early.

[TheDude]

Same rules for that as for Intel Arc graphics. Dont buy expensive Beta test products unless you really got the money to spare. But if this is a major investment for you in terms of gaming then just dont. These things arent cheap after all.

[shaneterrell]

This is why so many people game on consoles or mobile devices. You can have a mobile device from a few years ago and still play the latest games. The Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, and they're still making new games for it! Meanwhile for PC AAA gaming, you can build a monster desktop with high end dedicated graphics and still be unable to max out games in a few years. That is annoying and average people don't want to deal with it.
