(A good article about the current limitations of running Windows on a Snapdragon ARM processor: https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-t...ng-issues/ Note in particular the comments about restoring from backups.)
That said, I wouldn't recommend anything below the x elite. Even tho there were no compatibility issues for me, the x ultra did have some slowdowns. Not deal breakers but not something that'll make you love ARM either. With the X Elite, it's substantially different ime.

Limitations of running Windows: you can't install Linux instead (you can run it through WSL, Hyper-V or VirtualBox). What a dumb article.
Hasleo Backup Suite is ARM64 native, free and works great for cloning/backups and creating bootable USB recovery media.
Using any ultrabook for AAA gaming is stupid, gaming laptops generate heat are heavy and have crap battery life because they sacrifice one or all those things to achieve "ok" gaming performance.
I like how he complains about Linux support while still ignoring Linux is a non starter for a bunch of popular games like Fortnite and Battlefield 6.
Most of these tech authors are complete idiots.
