Lol, so many people are so ignorant on Snapdragon X series.

A typical Geekbench 6 single-core score for a laptop Core i5 5 years ago would be a Tiger Lake processor, and score approximately 1,150-1,300, while the multi-core score ranges from approximately 4,000-5,000.

The Snapdragon x1-26-100 has a Geekbench 6 score of 2125 and multi-core of 10596.

For those wondering, this is actually a good price for a Snapdragon cpu system, given its inherent compatibility limitations vs Intel/Amd systems.
Obviously, good for those that understand some apps, drivers, and games will never run on a SnapX cpu, and willing to stick mostly to Microsoft apps for the best compatibility.

Great price, for those who bought it I recommend visiting to find Windows ARM native apps, there's lots now:

Community Reviews

This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x is a strong budget Windows on ARM laptop for everyday use, especially web browsing, email, Word, streaming, and other normal tasks. The Snapdragon X chip gets praised for staying cool, quiet, and efficient, with solid battery life, a touch screen, backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, Wi Fi 7, and USB C charging alongside the included 65W barrel charger. The main caution is compatibility, since some legacy apps, printer drivers, games, and creator or business workflows may need ARM native versions or may not work well. It feels like a capable low cost pick if your software is already ARM friendly.

  • people who want a Windows laptop mainly for email, web surfing, and Microsoft Word because commenters say it's about perfect for those basic daily tasks and they're getting speedy, light performance with good battery life and low heat.

    amheckJoeGer

  • buyers who are willing to stick to Microsoft-first apps on Windows on ARM because community members note Snapdragon has inherent compatibility limitations versus Intel/AMD and recommend using mostly Microsoft apps for best compatibility.

    babygdavJoeMerchant

  • people looking for a Chromebook-like replacement for couch browsing and video watching because commenters describe it as a good fit for casual browsing/streaming and say it's not running hot with excellent battery life.

    mstoppsLovelyClover9678

  • users who plan to stream games (not install them locally) because one commenter clarifies they meant to stream from Steam and another says Snapdragon laptops are likely to be fine for streaming setups if you've had success before.

    StigmaruOrangeJulius

  • tax filers who specifically need TurboTax on a Windows ARM laptop because one commenter reports TurboTax Desktop Deluxe 2024 and TurboTax Business 2024 installed fine on a Snapdragon ARM Windows 11 system (with only minor compatibility-mode tweaking for TT 2023).

    JoeGer

  • people who need to print via USB (especially with specific printers) because commenters report returning due to lack of ARM printer drivers, and another notes USB printer support is likely unreliable even if wireless printing can work via Mopria.

    freesetpJoeGer

  • people who require legacy x86 software or x86-specific drivers because community members warn that ARM (Snapdragon) may not run legacy x86 software/drivers and advise avoiding ARM if you can't confirm your required software will work.

    JoeMerchantjbwhite99

  • buyers who are counting on consistently fast USB-C charging for daily use because at least one commenter reports USB-C charging was "slow as hell" (later attributing it to an update), and others suggest it may only be practical overnight or with the right wattage.

    [N8]Peerless_Warrior

  • buyers who want a dock-friendly laptop for lots of external displays because one commenter returned theirs, saying it's not dock-friendly due to only a single USB-C port and limited external display support (DisplayPort 1.2 / HDMI 1.4).

    xyphan

  • gamers who expect to install and run games locally because commenters warn not to buy these for gaming and say games won't run well on these Snapdragon laptops.

Purchased mine. What a steal! Need to decide whether to keep this or the HP Omnibook 5. The HP is $70 more expensive now.
Link to HP Omnibook? are both comparable specs?

Check to get a refund

It has a nice touch screen, backlit keyboard, 16gb RAM that's upgradeable, fast processor, fingerprint reader, and wifi 7 for $300 after cashback. Can't get much better than this

You can get a refund, be prepared to takke pictures and email to them. They will eventually get to it, but still a super deal.

Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Office and Whatsapp have ARM64 native versions now.
https://armrepo.ver.lt/

I don't use CCleaner, but this changelog says as of version CCleaner v7.0.984 ARM64 is officially supported:
https://www.ccleaner.com/knowledg...r-v7-0-984

I have a Snapdragon laptop I can verify the x64 versions of Anydesk and Team Viewer work fine, with no noticeable slow down (I recommend RustDesk though).
Will it run TurboTax? It's the only reason I need a Windows computer in my house.

Did a little research for you:

>Just downloaded TT desktop deluxe 2024 and TT business 2024.
>They both installed fine on MS surface pro 11 on snapdragon X 10 core processor running Windows Home 11 that i just bought this month.
>I do run it in "safe" compatability mode you can set on the properties tab when you right click the TT shortcut that gets created in the desktop.
>I don't know if you absolutely need to do that but I did have issues when testing on TT 2023 so kept it on.

Personally I've never had to tweak the compatibility settings for a legacy app, so that's interesting if it was actually needed.

Here's a video of Counter Strike Source running on the Snapdragon Elite: https://youtu.be/XikgYEO1goU?t=111

Here's a video of Counter Strike 2 running on a Snapdragon Plus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTXP7vWGhic

That said, the above videos are for the Plus and Elite, so performance will probably be lower on this model:

Snapdragon X Elite
  • GPU Performance: Highest performance, with up to 4.6 TFLOPS.
  • CPU: Features 12 Oryon CPU cores for superior multitasking and performance.
  • Best For: Users with demanding workloads like video creation and development.
Snapdragon X Plus
  • GPU Performance: Mid-range performance, with up to 3.8 TFLOPS.
  • CPU: Has fewer cores, with some models featuring 10 and others 8.
  • Best For: Users who need a balance of performance and power efficiency for everyday productivity tasks.
Snapdragon X (This model)
  • GPU Performance: Lowest performance, with up to 1.7 TFLOPS.
  • CPU: Features 8 Oryon CPU cores, making it the least powerful of the three.
  • Best For: Budget-conscious users who need a capable processor for basic tasks like web browsing, email, and office applications.

I just saved the paypal pay later offer. Will it work with this and hopefully cash back from another site? Does anyone see any differences between this one and the one posted in this thread for slightly cheaper before coupon but this coupon doesn't work on?
