    I bought a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x laptop a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love it. The Snapdragon processor is really fast and battery life is great - I always charge at night and haven't had a problem with power running out over a full days use. The Lenovo itself is great with the best laptop screen I've even seen (14.5" OLED with 2944x1840 at 90 Hz and with touch) and 3 very speedy USB-C ports.. but those are the only ports (!) so I keep a USB-C to HDMI dongle and a USB-C to USB-A adapter in my backpack (I can make that work, but I wish they had 2 USB-C ports on each side).
    The only real downside is gaming:
    If you want a gaming laptop then you should still stick with x86-based laptops because very many games don't work at all and those that do are all emulated and probably will be for the foreseeable future which makes them slower and more battery draining when they even work.
    (I have a good gaming PC and game very little on the move, so it's fine for me.. I just tested a bit to see if it would work)

    That weak GPU is still a major issue. The beauty of the Mac is that they did a good job at supporting all use cases. Blender? check. AI prototyping with pytorch/tensorflow? Check. CAD? Check. Qualcomm obviously lags behind, but I'm also not sure they'll be as effective in supporting pros, rather than just pumping out a machine that makes general use (and corporate data harvesting) easier. They must aim to match the performance of (say) a mobile 4070 in *all* use cases, also by investing in a CUDA compatibility layer and doing it better than AMD did.
    Also, I really don't like how Snapdragon laptops also imitate the bad things about Macs: no RAM upgrade, no storage upgrade, no easy servicing.

    • @TechLens
      @TechLens  3 месяца назад +8

      Yeah, would love a more powerful GPU in there. Luckily it seems like devs have been able to do quite a bit with what they currently have (maybe good app optimizations with CPU and GPU tasks) might be more in the hands of app devs at this point if adobe is doing, dare I say it.... Well?
      Also, every snapdragon laptop I saw had storage upgradeable and (except for the SP11) looked pretty easy to get open and replace stuff... RAM is SoC I believe so I'm less bullish on that vs soldered to motherboard.

    • @williamcopeland2617

      If you need a very powerful GPU, do not waste your money on a MAC or any SNAPDRAGON computer. Intel or AMD with a dedicated GPU will always be the best way to go. AI is by far better on WINDOWS than MAC as of today. Future may differ.

      @@deeomayall I'll debate you any day of the week as far as you saying, AI is better on LINUX. Apple is definitely efficient, but when it comes to using very intense programs absolutely nothing beats wattage. That's why I will always recommend a Windows device if your company's using major programs. Example, TOPAZ literally sucks on MACS, and the reason is because MACS just doesn't offer enough wattage to get the job done unlike a Windows laptop. But again, Apple is very efficient and offers good battery life.

    I love Macs but never made it to the M series. Reason I came back to windows is because I’ll always need windows OS for my work (boring data work) and getting a Mac means I have to double or triple the RAM as I would lose half running parallels (2 OS systems ran at the same time).
    So while I accept Apple is now next level. It’s cheaper for me to get a Surface with 16GB RAM allocated fully to windows than a 32GB RAM Mac to split the RAM and on top pay for Paralells subscription. Snapdragon chips have me that efficiency that I craved. I don’t need major graphics grunt.
    The spare money can go to an iPad to do my modest media work (basically just photo edits). 👍🏾

    You’re comparing a 2021 laptop with 2024 laptops and still it outperforms only most of the tasks, I have an M1 Max as well and I love it, I feel it still incredibly fast and responsive, but the new M4 macs are somehow up to 4 times faster specially on gpu tasks like rendering, no laptop with Qualcomm has ray tracing dedicated hardware and the laptops that have it with windows are huge, horrible and they must be plugged in all the time to get the full performance something that makes no sense in a laptop. I recognize that right now Nvidia has the best gpu’s and for my work as architect they are the best option, that’s why I built myself a desktop pc with high end components like a 13700K and a 4080 but still my MacBook is my favorite tools for most of the things I do like 3D modeling, documentation etc. I use my Pc just for rendering the projects I make on my MacBook, probably with an M4 or M5 the pc won’t be needed anymore, I’ll most certainly get the M5 max next year.

    I think @TechLens main complaint is the power drain on Windows laptops. Some people may find this surprising but not everyone needs the latest and the greatest. Stuff just needs to be good enough, and even 5 year old laptops are powerful for most people's needs so long as they are not too heavy and the battery lasts long enough.
    Those doing in multimedia related tasks like graphics and video editing and games are the ones the latest and greatest machines matter to. That being said if you are in the market for new laptop, you might as well buy that is lightest and lasts longest on a charge, and that is still the Apple laptop, so long as it runs the software you want.

THis will also work on handhelds like legion go, alley/s/x, any windows based with a battery, The boot up isn't bad either not instant, but this works so well. I put my handhelds to deep sleep each time and it takes 7sec to boot back up no more battery drain.

    Honestly the m4 pro is a different beast to anything available and with it being backed up by the Apple ecosystem I don’t think anything competes especially with everything it can do without needing dongles , cables and apps. The Magic Keyboard and Mouse is magic once you realize you can control multiple devices at once without needing to press a toggle switch. Files is a free Dropbox install on your devices that you can access anywhere . You have all your files in one place. The m4 pro does way better than the m1 pro. I see the flaws but the benefits surpass the cons for me. And with me just having one thunderbolt to connect to a monitor or dock to connect two monitors and ssd,micro sd. Just works. Plus the iPhone as a webcam is better than anything on the market. For work and daily life Apple is the way to go. Also the watch can unlock all your devices. And AirPods can be easily used by any Apple device without needing to disconnect and paired again. Way more things I can say about Apple that does way better than anything on the market.

    "all the reasons Macs are being great, but now running Windows" 🤣
    My dear, I switched to a Mac, in spite of the bad-ish price because I wanted to avoid running Windows for when I needed apps that don't run on Linux. It helped that the ARM-based Macs actually have a decent price-performance ratio (and I include the screen and physical build to the calculation) and that if you want to avoid the absolute pain and mess that Windows is, it's the only real solution. I still prefer Linux, but it's a compromise I was willing to make.

    I have never heard anyone else say what you have said about the OS in macbookOS compared to OS in windows...as I have had to learn another way to think and go through apple OS's on macbook, ipad, and iphone and painfully have to guide my friends and family over many years through ups and downs of apple verses windows pros and cons.
    As I said in 2020...it will be less than 5 years when windows catches up and probably surpass apple silicon...that is now coming true in 2024 on a hardware side...
    As I deal more with multi media than data or programming, my preference and work flow is more affected by multi media programs performance...so native arm based programs written for arm have a massive performance advantage. As I use linux, windows and mac I can really understand what you are talking about here in this video. I have lived the difference of a workflow on all 3 OS.
    There is no OS that does everything well and never will be, due to personal preference and the next advancement in tech that could make what you use now less functional for your work flow over something else that works better, hard ware or software preferably both being better...
    That is why I like your video over the vast majority of other videos as I don't see sides one being always being better than another...as this will always change as big tech wants you to keep buying new products...what you are prepared to put up with or use better is more important than anything else over brands or loyalty.

Of course that was the smallest possible test set, an accidental experience from one person, but thats how most things work for individuals I think. To hear now that ARM is the best option for Windows laptops is eye opening on many levels!

    I don't think apple should be that worried about arm on windows. You might prefer windows, but as someone who uses both machines, I prefer mac os by a large margin. I'm not a fanboy, I just use what I like and what I think is good, and I have windows and ios and mac and android machines and I keep coming back to mac os because everything just works like I want it to. It's all very easy to use. Gaming is the only benefit windows has to me, and that's not even true of these arm devices. And while YOU may prefer windows, there's a growing dissatisfaction with windows both online and in the sales numbers, and that didn't just come from hardware. Macs always had a strong following and a dedicated user base, even when their hardware sucked ass, so as long as their hardware is competitive, that will keep them in the game. Sure, having such a monopoly on quality hardware for nearly half a decade definitely switched some people over from windows, I also know that lots of the people who switched over will just stick with macs, because they prefer the operating system. Most people don't share your experience with windows being better, a lot of them sludge through it for gaming compatibility or specific software needs. Just because Mac hardware isn't the boon for apple like it used to be doesn't mean apple will be struggling as a company, or that macs will be struggling with sales.
