Major benefit of Lunar Lake is Linux compatibility. That's what matters to me. Eventually that may change but it's still going to require custom boot loaders and what not.

[PropertiesForSaleInJamaica]

Compatibility outweighs the extra performance by far though

[yaroslav]

Finally some non-Apple content. Thanks!

[BolusTube]

You missed one important difference, Lunar lake laptop support 99.9% more games and software than the x elite .

[Wild_Cat]

Lol @ 46% vs 43% battery life, with numbers that close it doesn't matter! Only a smart person would choose the Inte Lunar Lake, this guy says "if you don't want any issues then you get the Intel Lunar Lake laptop" of course, why would anybody get the Snapdragon X laptop when it's only 3% better battery life but has issues with applications... nobody should be recommending Snapdragon X laptops.

[AgentZeroNine]

Yeah, the no compatibility issue is a greater pro than twenty minutes more of battery life.

[pweddy]

The funny thing about multicore performance on a machine that has 12 cores, unless you were specifically using the CPU to do 3-D rendering *without a GPU* (which you would probably never do professionally) there’s very few cases where you’re going to spin up 12 cores.

[anupammahato]

No video editing test? No data transfer speed no lightroom test no photoshop test?

[jasonluvisi]

So basically Intel's new gen just made Snapdragon irrelevant. A boost to multicore in arm optimized workloads isn't worth the lack of compatability. Identical real world performance and battery usage = Win for Intel.

[federicovalmassoni]

Nothing about video editing and Lightroom exporting, almost the only things which matter to me 🙃

[abhishekkm]

Idk for reviewers but for consumers it's a long term investment. So compatibility is a major factor. Not only games but in x elite many apps are incompatible.

[frankgu]

If you need x86 compatibility and energy efficient, go for Lunar Lake. If you care less about x86 compatibility, go for an M series MacBook. It has much more native programs than Arm based Windows laptops as well as better emulation performance. Even the game performance is better on M3 Macs than X Elite.

[woofinu]

Unless you have other data, I think 46 vs. 43% battery is within the margin of error. There can be sample or run variations which are larger than 3%. I would consider the 2 equal in battery consumption and weigh multicore performance against risk of incompatibility.

[RobloxianX]

The XPS 13 has gone from a really low power hot ultra book to this serious MacBook Pro competitor, love to see it.

[MichalBrat]

Some 5% difference in battery life in exchange for tons of compatibility issues? Nope, sorry, Snapdragon, not this time.

[drvel]

Was waiting for someone to compare these two, thank you :)

[SuperMachead]

They canceled the snapdragon dev kit…so I would be Leary about future compatibility with software on windows on ARM….

[andresj]

I bought a Lunar Lake Lenovo with 32 GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for 1340USD

[Jzguan]

I've been scrolling for days. Waiting for a comparison!! Finally i found u. Can u plz do more indepth such as macbook 3 vs lunar

[DT-vchd]

Meh... it's apples to oranges right now. The Snapdragon products are for a more narrow segment of consumers whereas Lunar Lake is the more appropriate choice for most. That may change in the future, but I'd be really careful about spending that much money if the product doesn't meet your needs today.
