**UPDATE** I have ordered the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, and the Surface products. Stay tuned reviews on the way.

I was waiting for this, and you are fast. Thank you, I'm really hoping for a battery life that matches 85% of the M3 macbooks, as it would mean all day battery life for window laptops, which is quite convenient

[subhajitsarkar]

so excited to watch the snapdragon performance

[douglasbusch]

Great summary, very timely, thanks Andrew! Looking forward to your reviews as soon as you have the hardware.

[JackedtheTs]

In your reviews of the laptops with these new chips, please let us know how many external monitors they will support. As we know that the M series chips have varying support in that regard.

[PSYCHOVNM]

Please compare different models in different categories like:

Screen wobble while typing on your lap or table.

Backlit keyboard.

Refresh rate.

Panel type.

Screen brightness.

Battery life.

Number Pad support.

Port selection and speed of each port.

USB4/Thunderbolt 4 support?

HDMI 2.1 support?

USB-C charging support?

External display support limits such as Four 4K displays simultaneously or other configurations like two 4K displays and two 1080p displays simultaneously.

Thanks for sharing the news. Eagerly waiting for your detailed reviews for the same, especially the performance aspect. Cheers!

I've been hyped for the new Slim 7 since it was leaked! Glad it's finally here 🔥

LFG!!!! I've waited for this moment like a farmer waits for the rain, im tried of using macos just for the bettery life.

Some suggestions tests when you got them:
- CPU/GPU benchmark
- x86 apps and compare with Intel version.
- performance in battery mode vs charging
- browser benchmark
- fan noise compare to M3 and Intel
- battery life in performance mode and balance mode
- is it possible to use it without installing any x86 software
- body temperature compare to regular intel version
- few games to see how much it can handle

hope that helps :)

All these laptops look excellent, and the boost in performance + battery life plus the fact that more mainstream apps (like Chrome, Adobe suite) are now natively available on ARM should make them appealing for mainstream use.

The only real Achilles' heel could be device drivers for very esoteric hardware but those are really edge cases. Looking forward to your reviews, regardless, because these laptops have a lot of hype to live up to!

[HDRPC]

Good for consumers because AMD Strix point in June and then Intel Lunar Lake.🎉🎉

[Never-ending-guy]

Pls do gaming review on that laptops bec of different architecture lets see if they just show good scores or they really have it

[doctor]

I'm typing this message on a MacBook Air M2. I admire its silence and power efficiency. Cannot wait for Windows/Linux industry transition to the ARM as well.

[YEB]

Oh man, I just bought a Zenbook 14 last week. Should have waited for these.

[firstspar]

Looking forward to seeing those lenovo and thinkpad reviews!

[Real_British]

Cant wait to see your reviw on Thinkpad T14 gen 6

[Burbanana]

Thanks for this quick and informative recap Andrew, highly appreciated. I am very excited and I hope it is as promising as it sounds. If MS has managed to build a reliable translation layer (which is really difficult for a huge ecosystem like windows), that would be incredible.

[Gustavo_St]

What would you think of comparing (before having access to the devices) all announced Snapdragon laptops and suggest what you think may the best options? Would be quite useful for early adopters.

[akin]

Intel is going to need to focus on the desktop market. Too much battery efficient competition in the laptop chip market (Apple, AMD, and now Qualcomm).
