Breaking: 2024 Snapdragon X Elite Laptops Are Here!

now today's a big day for Windows on arm big announcements from Microsoft regarding that in terms of some devices from some of the oems Lenovo Dell Acer Asus and others have made announcements today of laptops that will be running this new chipset we have big expectations of course but uh we'll see the numbers once they come into the studio whether or not it lives up to the hype the proof is always in the numbers as I always say but we're going to get a chance to dissect some of the stuff that has been announced today and unpack it and we can really delve into it but of course I can't wait to get review units into the studio now I am attending the Dell technology world right here in Las Vegas so hopefully I'll get some Hands-On time with some of the Dell units but let's keep our fingers crossed hey everybody it's Andrew and these are the new laptops with the Snapdragon X Elite processor brand new for 2024 coming up all right right off the bat we're going to start off some big news from Dell they just announced the Dell XPS 13 9345 it's running the brand new Snapdragon X Elite processor from Qualcomm hopefully we get better battery life we'll get better performance it'll run quiet and cool more so than the Intel based units we sawed the last couple of years so I'm a big fan of the XPS line if you haven't seen any of my reviews over the last year or so you know I do like what they did here some people are divisive on the fact that they removed the function row it's now capacitive some people don't like the keyboard some people don't like the haptic touchpad the All Glass touchpad there is a lot of controversy surrounding it but I don't think it's a controversy here for them to move to this arm-based processor hopefully we won't have any compatibility issues hopefully again performance will be improved as well as battery life and everything else that we want to see on a portable laptop I'm hoping to get a review unit very soon I will put it through its Paces as they normally do and I am at Dell technology world so hopefully I'll get some hands on time with it a little bit of a brief introduction to it hopefully that will be coming sometime the next day or so so stay tuned I will have more information if I can get some access to the units now in addition to the XPS 13 we're also seeing a new Inspiron 14 plus the 7441 now if you saw my review of the 7440 the intel-based model it was pretty good it nice value proposition but I like a lot of the changes that they're making here better display much faster RAM and a host of other features that we'll get into once I do get a review unit into the studio it's got that beautiful ice blue color so there's a lot of things to like here again improved display here is going to be one of the other things I'm looking forward to on this again I want to get some Hands-On time with it see how the Snapdragon X+ does as well as a Snapdragon X Elite on the XPS 13 9345 and for those business users out there Dell announced the Dell Latitude 7455 and this one of course running the Snapdragon X Elite as well as options for the X+ this also has pretty nice business business user functions of course when it comes to 5G will be an option here nice display options as well all metal design very durable really high-end features here so I'm looking forward to getting one into the studio to test out as well okay let's turn our attention to Lenovo and today they announced the Lenovo Yoga slim 7x running the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite 14.5 in 3K display OLED display it's also got 32 GB of LP DDR 5x Ram running at that fast 8500 megat transfers per second yes 70w hour battery gorgeous Cosmic blue color it's going to come in at a starting weight of 1.28 kg or 2.82 lb it's going to be available starting June 2024 and will have a starting price of $1.99 and I can't wait to get a review unit into the studio to test out the performance the battery life and everything else that I'm hoping will be an improvement over the intel-based variant now speaking of that intel-based variant if you saw my review of IT the slim 7i is one of my favorite laptops here for 2024 and hopefully this can improve upon that for those that didn't see that review I will leave a link to it in the description below and for those ThinkPad users out there Lenovo announced the ThinkPad t14s Gen 6 this is outfitted with the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite you can get it with a 14-in 2.8k OLED display that's an option that I would go with a really great 64 GB option LPD de 5 5x running at that 8533 megga transfers per second yeah we're not playing around here everything we expect on a ThinkPad and then iconic Eclipse black color so I'm looking forward to getting one into the studio it's been a Workhorse in the ThinkPad lineup and I'm looking for this improved version here for 2024 it will have a starting price of $16.99 and will be available June 2024 now Acer also had a big announcement today with their Swift 14 AI now this is running the Snapdragon X Elite or the X+ now that of course is a choice you can go with a 14.5 in QHD plus IPS display running at 120 htz 32 GB of lpddr 5x Ram running at that very fast 8533 megat transfers per second it even has a QHD plus resolution camera an IR camera with a privacy shutter you got to love that it's got some nice speakers on it an aluminum design all metal very nicely done here nice Improvement over the one I looked at earlier this year as one of the first meteor Lake laptops that Intel based unit we looked at and that of course was really good we saw a nice Improvement there I'm hoping for better performance out of this Qualcomm Snapdragon one as well as better battery life better efficiency Cooling and fan noise and all that stuff so I hope to get one into the studio soon to put it through its Paces the Acer Swift 14 AI will be available in North America starting July with a price of $1,99 and will be available in June in Europe Middle East and in Asia with a starting price of € 1,499 now Asus also had their own event today launching the Asus Vivo book S15 OLED it's got a 15.6in 3K display 2880 x 1620 running that Snapdragon X Elite processor of course this is going to have a terabyte of storage 32 GB of RAM it also has a 70w hour battery it's Al got a military standard A10 rating I'm hopefully getting some Hands-On time with it very soon and I will bring you more information on that as soon as I can now of course Microsoft announced today the Surface Pro 10 as well as a surface laptop 6 I was not invited to the event nor was I given any access to the Press materials as well so I unfortunately can't give you that information right now that being said I do expect to buy them once they are made available to the public and I will do my reviews as I do get a lot of views on those laptops so stay tuned that will be coming soon again I'm not getting any review units from Microsoft or Qualcomm at this point so stay tuned I will do my best as I always do for you well what are we expecting out of the Snapdragon X Elite now based on some of the leak numbers we saw out of the surface laptop 6 running that of course allegedly the single core performance was still not quite as good as the MacBook Air running the M3 which got 382 versus the 2714 but where we are seeing an improvement is in the multicore performance 1478 on the surface laptop 6 versus the 12,087 on the MacBook Air so we're seeing very good performance numbers that have been leaked out of the surface laptop 6 running that Snapdragon X Elite and the other thing I'm looking forward to is improved battery life hopefully that will rival that of a Macbook which of course is the king of battery life as far as efficiency and and all that is concerned we want to see these laptops run cooler and quieter hopefully the Snapdragon X Elite will not disappoint now one of my biggest concerns with the Snapdragon processors that we're going to be seeing here is going to be compatibility issues remember when we looked at prior windows and arm laptops compatibility was the number one issue not everything would run and sometimes it would be inconsistent hopefully they've approved upon that now we know with apple they use the Rosetta Stone language of course so that allows good translation I hope to see that in similar results here from Microsoft with Windows on arm so please hit the like button please subscribe please share this video don't forget to leave a comment in that comment section below let me know how I'm doing let me know if there's a device or something out there you think I should review I'll do my best to try to make that happen don't forget to follow me on Instagram Facebook and X the platform formerly known as Twitter and don't forget to check out my website AMD Tech reviews.com so until next time this is Andrew and I'll see you in in the next video [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
