This Snapdragon X Elite laptop is ALMOST perfect 🥲

This Snapdragon laptop is almost perfect. And using it over the past couple of months has convinced me that, even for really demanding creative work -- we're right on the cusp of Qualcomm being a really viable alternative to x86. That's not just because the Honor MagicBook Art 14 is a fantastically performant laptop with a unique webcam-based party trick. It's also because the compatibility gap between Windows on ARM and x86 has narrowed significantly since I first looked at a couple of the early X Elite laptops last summer. And it's also running a higher-tier X Elite than most of the competition, plus 32GB of RAM -- double what you get in the vast majority of Qualcomm-powered computers. All of that adds up to a Windows PC that sips power, looks great, lasts all day AND comes super-close to matching Apple Silicon in video editing and the like. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Hardware Basics 4:31 Performance & Compatibility 9:00 The Verdict Check Out XDA on Social Media.
