Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 - eviltoast
AMD and Intel can breathe easier for a little longer, it would seem.

Interesting. Samsung making a bold move here, but one that could make sense.

      If it’s anything like the new MacBooks, then hell yes. I can go full days at the office, programming, without a charger. My old dell xps would crap out after 2 hours, tops.

      Edit: I would come home with 60% battery left on the MacBook.

        I appreciate Dave2d’s “M2 Macbook air versus Windows” vid. Hope he’ll make an M3 Macbook air versus Windows.

      If it isn’t, then there is almost no point in going ARM for Windows. Apple demonstrated that it can be quite lower or better perf at same power consumption.
