I don't know how the processor models compare but there was this one literally two weeks ago.

https://slickdeals.net/f/19805910-lenovo-yoga-slim-7x-14-wuxga-oled-touch-x2p-42-100-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-650-free-s-h?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arecent%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse&peid=e09796e4-5a4d-40c7-88cc-2cf495fbeca6

From my life experience, if it goes on sale once, it will often go on sale again.

I'd wager that the slim 7x line will regularly be on sale for $600-700 (40-50% off) brand new, direct from Lenovo.
If you don't know how the processors compare or any other specs, then why are you commenting about it and calling one deal better/cheaper than the other? There's a significant difference between the X2 Plus and the X elite in this one; not only that but that one has a 1200p resolution 60Hz OLED display while this one comes with a 3K 90Hz OLED. This is better in almost every single way.
No need to wager anything about an entire lineup with multiple models and specs; better to talk about the laptop and specs concerned at present which would actually be helpful to others.

Real Experience: Over 2yrs later; Bought an X2, & to this day - watch out for print drivers & scanners vendor supported apps . (HP/Brother/Epson) Lots of apps dont run. So check you required vendor apps for Snapdragon compatibility (b4 you buy). It is a bit unnerving that over the last 2yrs there has been minimal progress on adoption of Snapdragon/arm apps to Win11.
This has very recently gotten better, actually. I have two old printers (one Canon, one brother) I couldn't use before on my arm powered surface pro 11, and they both work now. Not sure what update fixed it, but it was inside the last month or so.

Great laptop. On this chip, x86 app start up time is much quicker than the original snapdragon x processor.
Hearing some fan noise while charging, but it runs cool most of the time. Well worth $500-600.

whatg version of win11 is it? is it based home or Pro (with RDP enabled)

it doesn't say on the site.

I"m assuming that copilot and AI crap can be disabled?
It literally DOES say which version of Windows 11 it comes with.

In order for software companies to spend the time and money to recompile or develop ARM versions of apps, they need the demand for it.

As some here call it, "firesales" are a good thing to lure people into ARM, and maybe those people (as I do) reach out to the software companies and ask/request about ARM versions. It doesn't help when people spread FUD about ARM which then causes people to hesitate and not adapt the platform.

Yes, printer and scanner software is a big hump to get over. Fortunately, printer drivers have become mostly "universal", meaning one driver works with many or most of a manufacturers models. This way, only the "universal" version needs to be written for ARM to get full-featured support. Surprisingly, HP has a native ARM driver for my wonderful HP X576dw Pagewide printer, which makes me happy as I'm working very hard to only have native ARM software on my Zenbook A16.

Basic functionality can usually be had using generic Windows PCL or PS drivers.

Think of this like a really nice Chromebook with a great screen that can run some Windows programs.

Can you please detail how the 2024 X Elite chip is better than the X2 Plus?

Can you run powershell natively on google book?
You might want to check into AluminiumOS, which is replacing ChromeOS. Googlebooks will be eligible to upgrade but not most older Chromebooks. I think AluminiumOS is built on Linux.

Awful price. Got the 32GB variant for $500 out the door last month. FYI, since most people are bad sources on Best Buy's open-box products, mine was in "Fair" condition and it was absolutely pristine, yet I've bought "Excellent" that was disgusting, YMMV.

ok Ill bite, I am very on edge about this. I just cannot seem to find other users that have worked with the 2 programs I question will work well. Bambu slicer seems to work but needs some help, I also use Autodesk Inventor from time to time. I figured this is a decent opportunity to at least try it out. Being Open Box i don't feel as bad when I return it in a week if both of these programs run like garbage.

It's not that $500 is an awful price, it's that your deal was a really excellent deal! Some might even say your deal is a one-off and you got very lucky.

Can you please detail how the 2024 X Elite chip is better than the X2 Plus?
From Google:

The 2024 Snapdragon X Elite is an older flagship processor , whereas the Snapdragon X2 Plus is a newer, budget-to-midrange chip from 2026 . Despite the X2 Plus being newer, the older X Elite can be better in raw multi-core processing power and high-end graphics, offering up to roughly 75% higher multi-core muscle for heavy workloads. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


Performance and Specifications Comparison
  • Core Count & Multi-Core Power: The first-generation X Elite features 12 full-performance cores , which gives it a substantial multi-threaded advantage (roughly 75% more multi-core power) over the lower-tier 10-core configuration of the mainstream X2 Plus .
  • Graphics & Gaming: The X Elite packs a stronger integrated graphics tier (Adreno GPU) built for heavier creative apps and gaming, whereas the entry-level X2 Plus uses a scaled-back GPU configuration (Adreno X2-45) that performs lower in frame rates .
  • Where the 2026 X2 Plus Wins: Because it uses newer chip architecture (Oryon Gen 3 cores) and a tighter 3nm manufacturing process, the newer X2 Plus actually beats or matches the 2024 X Elite in single-core speed and has a massive advantage in power efficiency and local AI (NPU TOPS). [2, 9, 10]
