I was just reading up on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite CPU. This thing is faster than Apple M2 Pro while using ~30% less power (23W i think).

Reason for this post is…

Who here would like an ARM Framework laptop to rival Apple’s? Rumours are, the big laptop players are already preparing.

I know the M3 is on the way, but that’s in H1 2024.

    :) price is the only factor here. :| m3 is extremely costly. And snapdragon might be cheaper than that. @_@ unified memory of apple is extremely costly 🥲 … :/ if u guys are searching for a 25 to 30 watt laptop with high battery life and low power consumption and a budget friendly option then i have some options for u.

    Apple is costly.(but low powered high battery life also slim)

    Here are some options- 1.strix point processor with under 45 watt tdp modle. (It has 12 cores and 16 gpu cores) (good for gaming) (1660 to 1660 super like gaming performance at 60 to 80 watt) 2.snapdragon x elite (get the 45 watt to 50 watt modle) (based on the given performance demonstration. The gpu is as powerful as a gtx 1660 to 1660 super) (but after emulation it performs like a 1650) like in control: 50 fps to 60 fps and baldur’s gate 3: 30 to 45 fps.
