    Up to OLED. This one is IPS 300 Nit.

    I’m avoiding the ARM laptops as I suspect Microsoft will cut support in a couple of years if the product line isn’t popular. Not to mention all the potential headaches with old printer drivers etc.

      100% this. The saving grace of wintel machines is the ability to run anything and everything as the lowest common denominator.
      If that isn't important, might as well use Linux.

    • Grok on 18/06/2025 - 12:17

      Exactly and if you don’t want to buy an Intel based PC you may as well buy a Mac.

      Theonly real compatibility of the CoPilot PCs is Office and that runs great on a Mac.

      • shellshocked on 18/06/2025 - 12:39

        Well at least for Windows/Linux you have a choice between 3 different CPU companies (AMD, Intel or Qualcomm)

        AMD for the fastest x86 CPU, IGPU, AI NPU. You also have full software compatibility and good battery life.

        Intel for full software compatibility but not the fastest tech.

        Qualcomm if you want to dabble in ARM. You are happy with limited Windows software/hardware compatibility. You are using a native ARM coded app to get better performance and want good battery life.

        • BlinkyBill on 18/06/2025 - 12:48

          Both Intel and AMD throttle down cpu on battery (very noticeably so), Snapdragon X series gets near identical performance on battery and power.

          • shellshocked on 18/06/2025 - 12:55

            @BlinkyBill: You forgot to add that Snapdragon also consumes a lot of power at full load still throttles.

            • BlinkyBill on 18/06/2025 - 14:24

              @shellshocked: LOL! Sure, run a synthetic benchmark. Real-world usage, these things smash the x64 competition. The fan rarely, if ever, turns on, easily runs for more than a full day on battery, and doesn't vampire drain when sleeping. Are you playing AAA games on your laptop, have a lot of legacy hardware with device drivers, then ARM64, not for you.

      I don't agree with this. For most business/consumer laptop use manufacturers have to be competitive on battery life, because people want laptops that aren't tethered to a powerpoint. x86 doesn't look like it will be able to match ARM efficiency any time soon.

      Without transitioning to ARM Windows laptops will be left in the dust vs Macbooks (and maybe even Linux-focused laptops). Apple has helped to get the ball rolling with major companies implementing software/driver build systems for ARM (Apple silicon) simultaneously with x86. Windows is riding the wave and more windows software is becoming ARM-native, it looks like it's here to stay.

    • brich1980 on 18/06/2025 - 13:54

      I believe this is not correct. The inconvenient truth of x86-based CPU is its low power efficiency. They can never beat ARM-based CPU for that which is vital for laptop. MS is following the painful and lengthy path of Apple in transition to ARM-based CPU in Macbook. Last but not least, Nvidia is releasing its first ARM-based CPU, N1X, for MS Windows by the end of this year and AMD probably will follow that. The trend of going ARM-based CPU is irreversible.

    • Butt Scratcher on 18/06/2025 - 19:49

      Why would microsoft cut support?

      Theyve been offering ARM for ages, problem was no one cared to make hardware or software for it.

      Recent snapdragon has popularised it more than ot has ever been

  • Yo1111 on 18/06/2025 - 12:01

    Is this laptop better? We can do a price beat mentioned in the previous deal before and pay with discounted gift card and have bonus flybuys points. I have a $300 gift voucher from officeworks as well. Thanks

    • BlinkyBill on 18/06/2025 - 12:45

      If you want a Windows ARM laptop, camp out at the Lenovo Outlet site; some serious bargains come up there. Kicking myself for not snagging a Slim 7x for $1200 a couple of weeks ago.

      • Yo1111 on 18/06/2025 - 13:34

        Sorry i forgot to add this link for the comparison

        • BlinkyBill on 18/06/2025 - 14:28

          Those Ryzen Lappies are quite nice too. I jumped on the Snapdragon because I got sick of Laptop after laptop sucking on suspend resumes, and snagged a cheap IdeaPad (32GB, OLED version), just to try it out. I have been pleasantly surprised by just how good they are. So much so that I'll be looking to get either a Slim 7x or Surface Book 15 if I can grab one cheap. With AMD, everything will just work; with ARM, you'll need to make sure your software and hardware work. Since I code for a living, it's not a problem for me, and I don't game beyond playing some older games.

    Why would you buy an ARM based Windows PC? The compatibility is 💩

    • BlinkyBill on 18/06/2025 - 12:44

      With what games? It's nice to be able to close the lid on a laptop, come back to it in a few days, and the battery percentage hasn't or has barely changed. The number of Intel/AMD Windows laptops I've done this to is almost always followed by them coming back to a flat or near-flat battery. Even worse, close the lid on the laptop, put it in a backpack, and get home from work to find the thing with fans going full throttle, trying to cool it down, as it couldn't work out how to suspend properly. For years, I thought this was a Windows problem, but the Snapdragons do this flawlessly every time on Windows ARM.

  • jollster101 on 18/06/2025 - 12:52

    So an ARM Windows laptop can run most applications but not games???? Is that right?

    I am looking to change over my old laptop and don't game, typically it's surfing and some basic Office type work I do with mine.

    • renaldof on 18/06/2025 - 13:24

      yep, got a snapdragon x plus laptop, the only thing that didn't work is the lack of driver for a VERY old printer I have - everything else worked fine, including some gaming.

  • justtoreply on 18/06/2025 - 12:58

    $950 for Snapdragon? No way.

  • babymos on 18/06/2025 - 15:11

    I'll never buy another lenovo after my LOQ came brand new with a wonky E on the keyboard (have to press it hard or at an angle to get it to work, Lenovo refused to replace) and it was an expensive $1600 model. Learnt my lesson will just stick with Asus or MSI.
