Its appears that the gaming performance is not very good right now. Hope it get better with time. There are more reviews incoming as well.

Gaming performance is certainly the biggest weak point at the moment and this is where we had the most problems. Basically, it is not easy for users to find out whether there really is a native version or whether the game is emulated.

We were not able to carry out all of our standard tests because there were some problems. On the one hand, there were image errors at higher details (e.g. Total War Pharaoh) or crashes (e.g. X-Plane, Shadow of the Tomb Raider), but many titles simply did not start at all. These include, for example, F1 23, F1 24, Prince of Persia: The Los Crown or Far Cry 5. In Cyberpunk 2077, the game also occasionally crashed. We will be testing more titles in the next few days.

The Qualcomm chip supports what is known as automatic super resolution. Basically, the game is upscaled with AI support, so you can select a lower resolution, theoretically without any graphical loss. We will also be testing this in the next few days.

The gaming performance falls behind the other iGPUs and in general it must be said that the Snapdragon laptops are only suitable for gaming to a very limited extent.

I guess more reviews are gonna come at a later date.

Shat's with jews and concentration camps in the cocreator article?? Couldn't think of something else controversial that isn't playing with genocide?
Like images of a certain Prophet for example? Or you know, that old classic hard core photography of the human form.

Actually, i better not give any ideas

Actually, actually, now i'm wondering whether it could draw a censored protest in China, since all possible sources of information are supressed? Or back to the prophet again, because how would one know what he looks like?
Or something useful, like a pallete swap that is colorblind friendly. Maybe that one would be easy, maybe not.

I guess the battery life seems to be the strongest factor for these Snapdragon X CPU Laptops. But it's frustrating to know that "Cocreator" won't work without an Internet connection.

"So we're in the middle of setting up our Surface Laptop 15-inch with Snapdragon Elite X CPU and it is taking . . . forever."

Any luck or progress yet ?

The disappointing thing is that NB didn't test it against more U series laptops. All the intel's are H series, which is fine if your only metric is price not efficient.
Price will change over time, but even a i7 150U would've been better than a 155H for comparison for this type of laptop.

Looks like they have no 150U nor 120U in their benchmark history, but if you manually compare results to the nearby Ci7 1365U, it looks to be very similar in performance, beating it in tests like Blender 727s vs 545s. Unfortunately many of the other tests are not compatible for comparison.

In comparison to its segment, looks 'OK', not bad, but not as impressive as hyped.

What options did you pick when doing the handbreak test?

The single core performance is slower than an M2!

The single core performance is slower than an M2!

Is it really ? They were testing the X1E-80, but referencing other who just had the 78 that was on other sites and then also with the follow-on comment: " All of these scores and times were faster than the M3 MacBook Air the site tested."

Much of it has to do with TDP because it has a larger impact on Qc's results than Apple (narrower range).

According to Notebookcheck the 80 (let alone 84) beat the M2 top to bottom, not to mention multi-core. Also, it's still early days yet, performance boosts are also possible especially for newer processors.
