All that said, this is a great deal. The usual "Windows on ARM" disclaimers, make sure you research what programs you'll specifically need, this isn't for everyone, blah blah blah. But for a good many users, this is a solid machine.

Lighter than the Surface Laptop, OLED display, faster performance esp. gaming/gpu, similar runtimes...and 100% compatibility.
I like this laptop a lot as I've been testing it for my basic uses. it's great! however, with the new version coming out next year with lunar lake, these might get dumped. I'm not really sure what to do

Microsoft launched ARM-based laptops with the Surface Pro X on SQ1 cpu in 2019...with crap emulation.
Then the SQ2 X a bit later, followed by the Surface Pro 9 ARM, and now SnapX CPUs.
5~ YEARS and despite BILLIONS of dollars and 10,000s of software programmers, MicroCrap has NOT even come close to 100% emulation compatibility with common x64-bit Windows apps that run fine on Intel and AMD cpus laptops.
....
Even big companies like Adobe STILL haven't released fully working, 100% feature identical ARM apps - even Premiere is still missing features 5 years on.
.......
And that doesn't even include the horrible driver support for older peripherals.

Personally speaking, I got cold feet on the WoA/16 GB and will return it to BB without opening. I instead grabbed today's Costco deal of the Lenovo Slim 7i with 32GB RAM.
Seriously for this price point they are still giving low resolution and no fingerprint
