Thanks to everyone who posted about Lenovo's cheap 32GB RAM upgrade and Samsung's 16" (ports) and Elite 84 upgrade (1TB storage) bonuses. That makes them even better values!

amazing comparisons and insane amount of work and time put in! very underrated channel! keep the good work coming!

Kind of annoying the Galaxy Book doesn't come with 32gb of RAM. Seems like everything in this list has some sort of drawback, whether it be screen, processor, or memory related. Would love an option with Mini-LED because of the durability issues with OLED. I think the ThinkPad OLED would be my choice if it weren't for the price!

To me Lenovo appears the way to go, on lenovo website you can custom build and upgrade to 32 gb memory and 1 TB SSB for only $35 each, beats the $400 Apple would have charged for the same upgrades. As well, if considering the Asus computer, Costco is selling an upgraded 32 gb version for the same price as other sellers, so might as well buy from them. Waited to see if Apple would drop hardware today, and their presentation was unremarkable so looking into these PCs (first PC in over a decade for me, but he AI assistant feature with copilot is a gamechanger, a built in tutor for virtually anything such as content creation, programming, etc.). Thanks for the helpful content and useful comparisons!

Lol they are giving us the lowest 74 snapdragon x elite chip and slapping us with a high price tag! 💀

The Lenovo CTO Slim 7x has very reasonably priced RAM/SSD upgrades; 32GB/1TB for +$73, making it $1284. The cheapest option for 32GB of RAM. Best Buy also has a promo preorder a Snapdragon Laptop get a Insignia 50 4k TV. It would be nice to know what biometric security features each model has.

One major point you missed is screen brightness. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x has 1000 nit HDR, which is exceptional and really makes a huge difference for daytime use. It also has 70w battery, despite being one of the lightest, thinnest, and cheapest laptops in the list for the specs... I honestly feel they underpriced it compared to the others lol. For these reasons, it's what I'll be going for.

Thank you for the very helpful comparaison. Just a little mistake: the 14 inch galaxy book 4 edge does not come with an USB A Port.

[Darktron]

I went with the galaxy book4 edge for the SDXE(84) and the dynamic amoled x2 120Hz although wish it was 32GB of ram and swappable storage instead of eUFS 4.0

[matthewjfoster]

yeah good comparisons here, nice work!

[artvandaley]

I went for the Lenovo Yoga. Here in Germany, I paid €1520 for the 32GB / 1TB version

Acer Swift 14: poor build quality + out of date screen
Asus Vivobook s15: Why not Zenbook. Vivobooks offer low build quality. 15.6 inch is not compact.
Dell XPS 13: 13 inch screen laptops just for content consumption. Not enough screen real estate and shrinked cramped keyboard.
Dell Inspiron 14:/Latitude Variants: out of date screen
Hp Omnibook x14: Nothing special or interesting.
Hp Elitebook: Overpriced. 16gb ram is not enough for ai.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x: No ports, not even headphone jack. Like a joke on port selection.
Lenovo Thinkpad t14s: Overpriced.
Microsoft Surfaces: One is tablet, there is no 14 inch variant. Pricey, low ppi and no oled.
Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge: There is no non-touch option. Touch screens are glossy. Glossy screens are inherently extremely reflective. No 32gb ram variant.

I recently purchased a 14-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge. About a week or so ago, Samsung had a special deal that included credits and a $400 trade-in for a device I wasn't using anymore. With the protection plan, I ended up paying around $803.00. So far, I am enjoying it.

[JtotheRizzo]

Great comparison video. Straight to the point and giving spec comparison was extremely helpful! Thanks!!!

ASUS Vivobook S Copilot+ PC 15.6" OLED (2880 X 1620) Laptop - Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite (12 Core) Processor - Windows 11 32 gb for $1, 299 in costco

[cynicist]

Good video. I ended up preordering the Lenovo Slim 7x based on it having the least number of compromises (I can get the full 32GB of memory, OLED, huge battery, etc). My runners up were similar to your selection, the Surface Laptop and the Galaxy Book4 Edge. I can't wait to see the Cosmic Blue color in person, and evaluate the Snapdragon X Elite. I'm hugely optimistic after being disappointed by Intel laptops for so long. Another positive aspect is that Linux support for this hardware should be in place after kernel release 6.11, which will be in a few months.

I don't know why they put ancient USB-A ports on these cutting-edge new laptops. Yes I know - people have USB-A devices, but chicken and egg... just get a dongle and phase out that old equipment.

[Racerchicken]

Going with the vivobook! Nice comparison. Wanted a bigger screen. Only thing I wish it had was the touch screen, but I get 32gb of ram at costco, and it's a few hundred cheaper than the galaxy book, so might as well. Don't need another TV.

[PrestoMoto]

The only reason I preordered one is because Microsoft put the snapdragon in their flagship laptops

[hybridinfodesk]

Yall got to stop with the Apple computer nonsense. The chip is only power the keyboard and display. No touchscreens, pen inputs or anything in the realm of the 21st century.
