Before the launch of the Gen 2 of these chips, Microsoft and Qualcomm had worked a lot on that translator to iron out the bugs and performance issues, which is also true for the 1st Gen X Elite chips as they use the same ARM ISA. So, at this point, at a sub $500 price, you are getting a pretty decent processor, QHD+ 120Hz 400-nits screen, 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD,USB4...pretty good.

A lot of games don't run though, including silent hill 2 remake, re4 remake, etc. A lot of UE5 titles just don't start for me, so I wouldn't recommend doing gaming on this.
That said, the snapdragon processor is very powerful and video edits / any sort of productivity app will be a breeze. For $460 definitely worth as a productivity machine and it's decently light at 3.1 lbs, not like those brick gaming laptops with fat power bricks. Only thing id say is, the battery reset switch on the bottom is a little fragile, I broke it off and had to hand solder the pads to make it work again but that was a stupid error. Just be careful whenever you're working inside it if you ever open it up.

The emulator for X86 doesn't work for these games like Silent Hill 2 Remake?

AutoCAD and some brother printers don't work.
