On this Intel one, I tested Yuzu with Mario Kart 8, and Zeldas: BotW and TotK and all ran swimmingly, holding full framerates for 95% of play without breaking out much of a sweat (after shaders compiled/loaded of course). Held temps at around 70c. I was pretty impressed but admittedly didn't test on battery. Regardless, It's a full fledged docked mode OLED Nintendo Switch plus more, if you want to see it that way.
The Snapdragon struggled with the above tests and didn't even run BotW and TotK, but I blame that on not having an ARM version of the emulator. Other Steam games were hit and mostly miss, I could barely get the original Borderlands to run well at 1080p. Doom 2016 was unimpressive and had to turn settings way down, and the original Quake remaster couldn't even render properly. It was crazy battery efficient though, I was getting roughly 10 hours a cycle.
I'm in for the games so the Snapdragon failed pretty hard for me. This intel though has been quite good for the price for playing old backlogged steam games
The only two things I don't like, keyboard travel isn't as good as a Thinkpad, and the SSD very difficult to replace due to some stubborn screws.
This would still be my go to suggestion for most people.

I was about to buy the Snapdragon version awhile back until i saw the 16:9.
That said, I wound up with a Dell Latitude with the same Snapdragon Plus CPU and haven't had any issues with it at all. The computer feels really quick. Obviously it'd be awful/unusable for gaming, but I don't use it for that so no big deal.
Just bought and will return the Macbook Air M2 (for $700) - love the weight and thinness of it but couldn't get used to MacOS and this one is just as light (and has a better screen I think?).
I wouldn't advise Snapdragon to anyone who doesn't really understand what they're doing. Everything will be fine, until you run across something that just refuses to work. Say you want to install a VPN. Some work, some don't.
