I have a faster snapdragon x elite and many, many apps do not behave as expected.
Beyond the terrible emulation and horrid battery life if you run apps that aren't ARM64, many common things that would run fine on integrated intel or amd graphics have major issues or no support on arm graphics, and end up running as software which makes CPU performance even worse and eat even more battery.
Unlike all other laptops on the market - even Macs - you can't really game on these either. There is no arm64 steam client and there is zero arm build support with steam. Games themselves are mostly unplayable from performance constraints.
I truly don't know who this laptop is for. As far as I know there isn't much in the way of Linux support either.

Whoever is reading this, don't trust this random guy's opinion on Slickdeals. Linus Tech Tips did an entire video where 3 or 4 of them used a snapdragon laptop as their daily driver for a month. None of them had major issues, and the battery life was fantastic.
Personally, I'm an IT Director at a place that all of you would recognize if I name-dropped it. We have rolled out Dell Snapdragon laptops to about 10% of our workforce, with 0 complaints. And these are mostly tech illiterate people who are having no issues with them.
