TUXEDO Computers confirmed today they are working on an ARM notebook using the Snapdragon X Elite SoC. A prototype of the laptop was shown last week at Computex in Taiwan with the 12-core X Elite, 2560 x 1600 14-inch display, aluminum body, 32GB of LPDDR5x, one PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD, and in-development Linux support
This confirms what I alas found: no X1E-80 with 32 GB. I'm starting to think the dev kit would be my best choice.A video comparing the specs of all Snapdragon X laptops unveiled so far, and examining which is the best value.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x remains as my favourite, for it's excellent combination of features for an excellent price.
Yeah this is the issue with Snapdragon X1 series.This confirms what I alas found: no X1E-80 with 32 GB. I'm starting to think the dev kit would be my best choice.
Do you really need a new laptop, or are you looking to buy the highest end X Elite SKU for "fun"?This confirms what I alas found: no X1E-80 with 32 GB. I'm starting to think the dev kit would be my best choice.
Oh no I don't need a new laptop, it's just more convenient to hack from the couch. But I can live with ssh so the dev kit is an option... provided it supports Linux.Do you really need a new laptop, or are you looking to buy the highest end X Elite SKU for "fun"?

I don't want that. No way. As far as I'm concerned, Windows only use is to play gamesGet started with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Arm

I only want Linux for command line utilities and it's just simpler if there are Mac users working on the same project. UX is a mess on Linux (well, it's a mess on Windows too but without certain downsides) and there are many downs sides from hardware support to even hardware accelerated video decoding in browsers. VSCode + remote development plugin + WSL2 is best of both worlds.I don't want that. No way. As far as I'm concerned, Windows only use is to play games
That's your preference. Not mine. I didn't claim the way I work is the way to go I can't stand any UI so I fail to see what Windows brings to me except an environment I always felt was hostile (as Gnome, as MacOS UI).I only want Linux for command line utilities and it's just simpler if there are Mac users working on the same project.

The Snapdragon 8cx/8c line got replaced by Snapdragon X series with Oryon.
What will happen to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7c line?
Will the spiritual successor of the 7c be born in the Snapdragon X lineup, or will Qualcomm inaugurate a new brand for ultra-affordable processors? ('Snapdragon C' perhaps?)
I have already reported on the work Qualcomm is doing to enable Linux with Linaro, that's a great change from what happened with the previous WoA devices. But I don't want to be the guinea pig of their efforts, or buy a device that was poorly designed with a buggy BIOS/UEFI that would prevent installation of Linux. I will have to train my patienceI strongly suspect it will work, in the sense of having no active measures to prevent Linux running; no WoA system has ever been specifically specifically locked to running NT. How long it takes to have a full driver set is another question.
You probably already saw this video but it seems there's a pretty aggressive timeline for getting full mainline support.
Asus beckons you to their Vivo laptop.Samsung are crazy for not offering 32GB on their laptops.
They must have hired someone from Intel marketing to come up with that many different SKUs for two parts, and create that much confusion about which is better than which through meaningless part numbers.
You'll never let go, won't you?Itanium had a trivial and comprehensible SKU name scheme (at least, starting with Montecito.) Just sayin'.
