With Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon processor, the X Elite X1E-84-100, I expected this laptop to fly for $1,750.
Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon chips have quickly turned Windows on Arm into a viable platform. We’ve tested over half a dozen laptops with the new processors, and even the least powerful chip matches Intel and last-gen AMD on CPU performance and beats them on battery life. But I’ve been eager to get my hands on a laptop with Qualcomm’s fastest Snapdragon processor to see if it can do even more.
But it was a letdown when I compared its benchmark scores to laptops with lower-tier Snapdragon chips, like the Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, and saw lower numbers; the Book4 Edge was 13 to 16 percent slower in multicore performance than those laptops, respectively.
