Well, my personal reason for not getting a Snapdragon Laptop is the fact, that we are forced to use Windows with it. I was a Windows Enthusiast once, but a few year ago their Updates keept bricking my tablet PCs because they removed drivers, they deemed "Depricated" and "no longer needed". Of course updates were only temporarily disableable. So I went like 2 time through that because I forgot to reactivate the "No Updates" Option after the time was up. I don't miss the "fun time" of having to waste a day to restore a piece of 1000€ equipment, just because M$ forces what ever marketing gimmick they want next on us.
Not with my Lenovo Yoga. Compatibility are generally there and will improve compared with Microsoft's former underpowered Windows RT. My Snapdragon Lenovo while unplugged performs well - same screen brightness and same CPU performance YET last a lot longer than any X86 laptops in same configuration. My former X86 laptop lasted an hour at best or I had to reduce screen brightness and CPU performance. My former x86 laptop was replaced by an iPad and/or an Android tablet for mobile computing but now I'm more than happy with my Snapdragon laptop. Pricewise? Similar to well spec'ed x86 laptops.
@jayplunks Point is Microsoft have been toying around with Arm powered chips onto Windows RT but now they're going full steam which Apple is already doing so.

@@sklynexdyou realize that any US company is the same right? Can't exactly be pointing fingers. I'm fine with google getting off their @$$ and providing value to the customer again too. And if we can't compete despite the decades long headstart we've had and our incumbent positioning, then bans are just delaying the inevitable. At some point the US companies will lobby to license their tech for profit reasons. Copying someone is always easier than doing it yourself and it saves the cost of development too. More profit to the shareholders
I personally don't. Huawei is notorious in china for their age discriminatory hiring practices. They only hire people that are under age 35 and once they're past that age they're forced to resign. I will never support a company like this.
well if it was possible to get a mini PC with upgradable ram and storage with the qualcomm chip and using Linux on it as well it would be worth the money
Silly? That's actually really cool! Apple got hyped for bringing the top sides of the phone together to swap contacts but when Huawei brings something that is the literally "air dropping" it's called silly? 🙌🏿🤣🤣
I didn't get to watch when it came out with the Huawei title, now that you changed it to "Snapdragon laptops aren't selling" I was a lot more inclined to click and finally watch. Your strategy worked haha
Tried the new Huawei laptops a few days ago...really impressed by the quality. Awesome resolution on the touch screen, reliable metal case and dope performance fot the price range.I just hope they dethrone the old and greedy monopolies.
I’m glad I jumped over to apple OS. The new Mac mini M4 is a perfect onboard. ARM is the future of computing but it will take Microsoft a decade to realize it. Seriously, the baseline m4 Mac mini is amazing value for the dollar and it sips power. It crazy energy efficient. I don’t mind leaving it on all day, acting like a family computer, an PS3 emulator and plex media server all in one. I bought two. The other one I throw in my luggage when I go on travel and when I check into my hotel, I can use my 13” iPad as a monitor if the hotel doesn’t have a handy TV to use.
Snapdragon could begin by offering affordable laptops and maybe even tablets, allowing Microsoft to position its Surface line as a premium product. Many people would already possess at least one of these devices, and typically, software support would become available more promptly.
It will probably be like airdrop, where you don’t need to accept if the two apple devices are logged into the same iCloud account, but you need to accept if they are logged into different ones

We're gonna have a whole generation of parents with these POV cams that you won't want the kids to find like our parents did back in the day with video casette recorders 🤣😭
I would love to see windows move to ARM, but the snap dragon laptops are being sold as barely better than x86, but some stuff doesn't work. Not a very good sales pitch. holding them back with the copilot AI label was a bad idea. More effort needed to have been done for compatibility and performance/efficiency that would have surpassed x86. In the meantime Apple's MX is leaping ahead
The issue is price. No average user is buying an expensive device that doesn't support all software. Yes, the translation layer works and can run a lot. But a lot isn't everything, and for a device that starts at $1000, that is a large compromise. Most home users of windows use the $500 range laptops from Best Buy or walmart, or they have gaming computers. This doesn't compete with either of those markets. Right now, it's really just enthusiasts buying them.
Snapdragon... if you laubch a x86 copetitor you need to have more to make it all "just work", you need the dull stack including a total developer package. That and the emulation needs to be almost flawless.
@roccociccone597 I love linux. I don't use Windows. I am hoping for a steam machine, but if the valve doesn't launch the steam machine, then I will buy this one with linux support.
bought a samsung galaxy book 4 edge. Shocked on how stuttery everything feels. I need to run it constantly on power saving mode because of low screen on time issue, and even then i can only juice 7 hours SoT out of it in the most possible conservative use ever: microsoft edge browsing + microsoft office word/excel for work and youtube for fun, nothing more. I know i did a bad choice in the landscape of snapdragon laptop out there, but i dont think a lenovo yoga slim 7i aura would have been twice as much SoT, maybe just a couple more hour, but this laptop feels the most premium i've ever seen so i'm ok with that anyway, for now
1% for snapdragon laptops is not bad when you consider how many of the machines sold in any way direct competition. It will be interesting to see what happens when they have budget offerings.
I bought the Galaxy Book 4 Edge and loved it. It was fast and efficient. I had to return it though. A lot of my gear didn't have the Snapdragon compatible drivers, including my photo printer. I'm using a Zenbook S14 now and although not as nice to look at and use, it's still a very good lapotop and well worth the money.
What needs to happen is Microsoft needs to convince to developers to port their programs over to arm. To do that, those laptops need to start selling more. Not only that, but they also need to stop focusing on the artificial demand of ai. If recall does indeed invade privacy, then they have discontinue it and keeping working on optimizing windows on arm.
Yeah, I think nobody wants a major architecture change. ARM is good but many tools and apps are compatible with X86. I heard ARM platform is also not compatible with each other as in X86.
That depends on developer making apps compatible with ARM platform. My Snapdragon Lenovo is doing very well - good general compatibility. Even better my ARM laptop have significantly better battery life while unplugged yet I can have the same screen brightness and CPU performance. My former x86 laptop can last an hour at best.
Makes sense no, edge over Intel and AMD. It is supposed to be a sub 2 pounds thin and light laptop. Ideally for travelers and managers but every single option out there is close to 3 pounds. Even the Microsoft surface is relatively bulky.
I'm really surprised that snapdragon laptops don't sell very well. those things suck and are way too restrictive compared to a standard windows laptop with an AMD processer
As interesting as Qualcomm laptops may be, having a translation later to let me run x86 apps introduces another layer of complexity which may affect how reliable the device will be. I dunno about anyone else, but personally, I'd only go for a Qualcomm laptop if it had its own OS (that's not pretending to be Windows) and apps specifically written for it. Qualcomm should've started its own ecosystem like Android did. Yes it'll be super risky but pretending to be a Windows PC doesn't sound like a terrific idea either.
they are not settling as 1. they are firrst gen 2. windows on arm only has about 70% native compatiblity 3. many dont have upgradable ram 4. v2 is coming out soonish 4. there isn't a used market for these devices yet. 5. used macs e.g m1 are now very cheap even high storage models
I bit the ARM bullet early, buying the Surface Pro X when it was new. 5 years later and almost none of the apps in my workflow have been ported over; devs just don't care. Worse yet, x86 emulation hasn't changed at all. Anything graphics intensive and 64 bit is a lost cause, and I can just pray that I can MAYBE run 32 bit apps at eye-wateringly slow speeds. To give you an idea how bad this is, my 2016 Lenovo Yoga Book with 4GB of RAM an an Atom x5 runs windows apps natively almost twice as fast as the SQ2 runs anything emulated. The speeds are THAT bad. Microsoft has failed ARM, and ARM has failed me. I just sold my SPX and I am excited to go back to a competent laptop. My XPS 13 arrives monday.
I usually buy the Surface PRO from MS, but since switching to Snapdragon that pretty much sank my ability to use many engineering tools. Who cares if software runs faster if you can't run the software you need? I need more than Office, Calc, and notepad.
Having used all iterations of the Surface ARM machines, I knew what I was getting in the end. The promises seemed a little too good to be true, but basically, it's just a Windows laptop that lasts longer than most others. That's it. I don't want Recall, and I don't see AI as something I'd use daily and will be something that will annoy me when it does get used.
My Snapdragon Lenovo laptop is already well priced. Pricewise and performancewise of that Snapdragon is similar to all elite x86 equivalent. My biggest attention with my Lenovo is the battery life. It last way longer while unplugged from the wall without needing to reduce brightness and CPU performance. It last around 5 to 10 hours on battery but that's already way better than my former x86 laptop which could last AN HOUR at best!
For context, the latest Pixel's Tensor chip is just as much powerful as Kirin 9020. So technically, Google too is 3 years behind competition in terms of SoC technology
if they priced it properly, they would sell even considering the compatibility issues, for a first generation product, i would just go for a lunar lake or macbook instead, even ryzen are great, a slightly less battery life but way more multicore power than the lunar lakes.
I was looking at Snapdragon laptops recently during sales because i like the idea of ARM, but they cost to much. Unless you really just want battery life for basic tasks i don`t think they are worth it yet. For less then the price of the cheapest 8 core Snapdragon i got a AMD 8845HS laptop instead. It may have slightly worse battery life, but its supports more apps, am not stuck with Win 11, and the screen and speakers are better. Unless they do some serious software improvements and/or get the price down its going to take longer then 5 years to reach 50%.
Ugh. Why couldn't Sony have made a portable PS4? Are the chips not all available anymore or something? Making it PS5 based is so pointless for a handheld for so many reasons. We could have had a 1440p Ps4 pro based portable for under 500 dollars but now the PS5 based one will probably be over 1000 and be 1080p for battery savings.
Laptops need a new vision of their features in order for sales to move, like how phones used to intrigue us (and still intrigue us a little). The folding screen idea was good but poorly executed and at a silly high price point. Back then, there was the idea of ultra books, there was windows' concept of continuity, 2 in 1 laptops, modularity, or even hdd to ssd. But now it's just faster chips. Offhand, I rmb my breath taken away by a Toshiba 7 in 1 concept at some trade show... can't rmb details though.
Sonys major disadvantage is their primary media will not be compatible with their handheld. I bet they also won’t introduce carts like switch. Don’t care for digital only handhelds. Unless they’re basically emulation devices. Ain’t funding your digital only wasteland.
Several countries have implemented bans or restrictions on Huawei products, primarily due to security concerns and geopolitical tensions. Here are some of the key countries: * United States: The US has imposed comprehensive bans on Huawei, prohibiting US companies from doing business with the Chinese tech giant. * Australia: Australia has banned Huawei from participating in its 5G network rollout. * New Zealand: New Zealand has also banned Huawei from its 5G network. * Japan: Japan has restricted the use of Huawei equipment in its 5G network. * Taiwan: Taiwan has banned the use of Huawei equipment in its government agencies. * United Kingdom: The UK initially allowed Huawei to participate in its 5G network but later tightened restrictions and ultimately phased out its equipment. It's important to note that the specific restrictions and bans may vary over time, and some countries may have eased or tightened their policies.
People didn't want to buy Windows RT devices which were priced like decent laptops but ran none of the Windows X86 applications. Go figure that people do not either want to buy Windows ARM devices which are priced like decent laptops and only run some of the Windows X86 applications (with a varying degree of performance).
50% marketshare in the next 5 years is completely unrealistic. Even if you take all x86 machines off the market, I think it'd still be difficult to hit that number just because most people don't buy new machines very frequently. Especially when the cost of more important things like food/gas/etc is as high as ever.
@@TheFridayCheckout That makes a little more sense, I misunderstood what you meant. Honestly still sounds like a big stretch though if I'm going to be honest.

Of course updates were only temporarily disableable. So I went like 2 time through that because I forgot to reactivate the "No Updates" Option after the time was up.
I don't miss the "fun time" of having to waste a day to restore a piece of 1000€ equipment, just because M$ forces what ever marketing gimmick they want next on us.
Developer stations ware available long after the consumers got the thing, doesnt that tell enough?
Snapdragon PCs are just very very expensive and compatibility is not perfect, yet. Not a great combination.
Not with my Lenovo Yoga. Compatibility are generally there and will improve compared with Microsoft's former underpowered Windows RT. My Snapdragon Lenovo while unplugged performs well - same screen brightness and same CPU performance YET last a lot longer than any X86 laptops in same configuration. My former X86 laptop lasted an hour at best or I had to reduce screen brightness and CPU performance. My former x86 laptop was replaced by an iPad and/or an Android tablet for mobile computing but now I'm more than happy with my Snapdragon laptop.
Pricewise? Similar to well spec'ed x86 laptops.
@@t8polestarcyan22 using Windows RT as a comparison is weird
@jayplunks Point is Microsoft have been toying around with Arm powered chips onto Windows RT but now they're going full steam which Apple is already doing so.

💯 When it comes to Google pixel and its issues, western RUclips reviewers magically forget every issue. Had it been some Huawei device with the same issue we'd have a negative review
@@badbad-cat I don't watch many phone reviews nowadays, but people always bring up the performance and how much worse it is compared to the snapdragons in the same price tier.
Google's software experience is good and the performance is close enough to the flagship that most people don't care. The hardware also feels premium with newer models.
Lina Khan is great.
I want Huawei to be as strong as before. They almost dethroned the giants.
But it's china without google
@@sklynexdyou realize that any US company is the same right? Can't exactly be pointing fingers. I'm fine with google getting off their @$$ and providing value to the customer again too. And if we can't compete despite the decades long headstart we've had and our incumbent positioning, then bans are just delaying the inevitable. At some point the US companies will lobby to license their tech for profit reasons. Copying someone is always easier than doing it yourself and it saves the cost of development too. More profit to the shareholders
I personally don't. Huawei is notorious in china for their age discriminatory hiring practices. They only hire people that are under age 35 and once they're past that age they're forced to resign. I will never support a company like this.
Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
You want devices that directly send your data to chinas governmemt?
LINA KHAN THE QUEEEN keep doing the goodwork

Simple rule, either keep doing security update, or open source the software
well if it was possible to get a mini PC with upgradable ram and storage with the qualcomm chip and using Linux on it as well it would be worth the money
Silly? That's actually really cool! Apple got hyped for bringing the top sides of the phone together to swap contacts but when Huawei brings something that is the literally "air dropping" it's called silly? 🙌🏿🤣🤣
I didn't get to watch when it came out with the Huawei title, now that you changed it to "Snapdragon laptops aren't selling" I was a lot more inclined to click and finally watch. Your strategy worked haha
what exactly is the original title?
@@deterlanglytone ironic since he changed it cus his video wasnt 'selling'
Tried the new Huawei laptops a few days ago...really impressed by the quality. Awesome resolution on the touch screen, reliable metal case and dope performance fot the price range.I just hope they dethrone the old and greedy monopolies.
I'd buy it if linux can support arm.
I mean, it can. But it's not as supported as windows on arm.
Does it even support Linux? I don't Qualcomm would release open source drivers
I’m glad I jumped over to apple OS. The new Mac mini M4 is a perfect onboard. ARM is the future of computing but it will take Microsoft a decade to realize it. Seriously, the baseline m4 Mac mini is amazing value for the dollar and it sips power. It crazy energy efficient. I don’t mind leaving it on all day, acting like a family computer, an PS3 emulator and plex media server all in one. I bought two. The other one I throw in my luggage when I go on travel and when I check into my hotel, I can use my 13” iPad as a monitor if the hotel doesn’t have a handy TV to use.
Kirin was beast back in the day
Snapdragon could begin by offering affordable laptops and maybe even tablets, allowing Microsoft to position its Surface line as a premium product. Many people would already possess at least one of these devices, and typically, software support would become available more promptly.
I'm very happy with my Snapdragon powered Lenovo Yoga. It has a much better battery life while unplugged.
I like your Long sleeve! Too bad, it already sold out in my size 🥲
Where can we buy this & the Red circle 🔴 tshirts?
The brand is called Edwin
weren't the benchmarks bad for the Snapdragon X chip laptops?
No unless it was gaming.
2:47 To be fair, all the Snapdragon PC’s are ‘Co-pilot+’, so going by your stats,
720k/13.3M (AI PC’s) = 5.4%
Got one for my mom to replace her intel Macbook air. Nice screen, battery been excellent. She mainly just uses office and web browser.

The file dropping feature sounds cool, but what about malicious files? Do you have to accept the file or does it just upload it to the device?
Imagine a thief literally grabbing a file from your device to drop it on his own later at home ✊
It will probably be like airdrop, where you don’t need to accept if the two apple devices are logged into the same iCloud account, but you need to accept if they are logged into different ones

If there were a solid backwards compatibility to legacy programs a snapdragon would be my go to device. But without supporting the programs i want to use its useless to me.
I can't help but feel that marketing them as "ai pc's" instead of "windows machines that final feel like macbooks" was a big reason for this
We're gonna have a whole generation of parents with these POV cams that you won't want the kids to find like our parents did back in the day with video casette recorders 🤣😭
About time Android gets a credentials transfer system. Switching phones right now is a PITA.
Top of my Friday, Thank you.
Got back pain, but still moved to the intro like always
I would love to see windows move to ARM, but the snap dragon laptops are being sold as barely better than x86, but some stuff doesn't work. Not a very good sales pitch. holding them back with the copilot AI label was a bad idea. More effort needed to have been done for compatibility and performance/efficiency that would have surpassed x86. In the meantime Apple's MX is leaping ahead
The issue is price. No average user is buying an expensive device that doesn't support all software. Yes, the translation layer works and can run a lot. But a lot isn't everything, and for a device that starts at $1000, that is a large compromise. Most home users of windows use the $500 range laptops from Best Buy or walmart, or they have gaming computers. This doesn't compete with either of those markets. Right now, it's really just enthusiasts buying them.
I think a reasonable amount of software support should be expected.
I love how the past few years is all about chips
This week I saw "black week" offers that ended on Wednesday. This sale period makes no sense in Europe.
I owned a SURFACE LAPTOP for 2 days before I took it back for REFUND, it would not run anything I use!
Snapdragon... if you laubch a x86 copetitor you need to have more to make it all "just work", you need the dull stack including a total developer package. That and the emulation needs to be almost flawless.
Is snapdragon allowing the linux version without the AI. I will buy it for sure.
What are you trying to say? No no Linux distro has this spyware rubbish like Windows does. And Linux support is now basically complete. So you're good
@roccociccone597 I love linux. I don't use Windows. I am hoping for a steam machine, but if the valve doesn't launch the steam machine, then I will buy this one with linux support.
bought a samsung galaxy book 4 edge. Shocked on how stuttery everything feels. I need to run it constantly on power saving mode because of low screen on time issue, and even then i can only juice 7 hours SoT out of it in the most possible conservative use ever: microsoft edge browsing + microsoft office word/excel for work and youtube for fun, nothing more. I know i did a bad choice in the landscape of snapdragon laptop out there, but i dont think a lenovo yoga slim 7i aura would have been twice as much SoT, maybe just a couple more hour, but this laptop feels the most premium i've ever seen so i'm ok with that anyway, for now
1% for snapdragon laptops is not bad when you consider how many of the machines sold in any way direct competition. It will be interesting to see what happens when they have budget offerings.
This time Microsoft and Snapdragon are going full steam in comparison to Window RT era. I'm very happy with my ARM powered Lenovo laptop.
Which county is that swing in?
DOA to me without Linux support
thats 720k more sales than I expected for ARM PCs !!!
I bought the Galaxy Book 4 Edge and loved it. It was fast and efficient. I had to return it though. A lot of my gear didn't have the Snapdragon compatible drivers, including my photo printer. I'm using a Zenbook S14 now and although not as nice to look at and use, it's still a very good lapotop and well worth the money.
1:50 Name one "Killer-App" that needs that much performance except a few games.
You dont have to open an app. The interface itself requires that.
I have a pixel 6a and performance in the interface has never been an issue for me.

@@FrIoSrHy try a samsung phone. I'm really feeling a regret creeping in from entering this ecosystem
What needs to happen is Microsoft needs to convince to developers to port their programs over to arm. To do that, those laptops need to start selling more. Not only that, but they also need to stop focusing on the artificial demand of ai. If recall does indeed invade privacy, then they have discontinue it and keeping working on optimizing windows on arm.
Hey.. Audio is too racy. I had to double check if the play speed in my youtube app is set to 1.5x
Yeah, I think nobody wants a major architecture change. ARM is good but many tools and apps are compatible with X86. I heard ARM platform is also not compatible with each other as in X86.
That depends on developer making apps compatible with ARM platform. My Snapdragon Lenovo is doing very well - good general compatibility. Even better my ARM laptop have significantly better battery life while unplugged yet I can have the same screen brightness and CPU performance. My former x86 laptop can last an hour at best.
Snapdragon should make chips for laptops like 500/600 dollar's
Makes sense no, edge over Intel and AMD.
It is supposed to be a sub 2 pounds thin and light laptop. Ideally for travelers and managers but every single option out there is close to 3 pounds. Even the Microsoft surface is relatively bulky.
Quite satisfied with my snapdragon PC!
I'm really surprised that snapdragon laptops don't sell very well. those things suck and are way too restrictive compared to a standard windows laptop with an AMD processer
Thanks for the vid
Thank you!
As interesting as Qualcomm laptops may be, having a translation later to let me run x86 apps introduces another layer of complexity which may affect how reliable the device will be. I dunno about anyone else, but personally, I'd only go for a Qualcomm laptop if it had its own OS (that's not pretending to be Windows) and apps specifically written for it. Qualcomm should've started its own ecosystem like Android did. Yes it'll be super risky but pretending to be a Windows PC doesn't sound like a terrific idea either.
I want an ARM linux laptop with good performance and a long battery life.
6:26 They are bringing back the PSP? At last!
they are not settling as 1. they are firrst gen 2. windows on arm only has about 70% native compatiblity 3. many dont have upgradable ram 4. v2 is coming out soonish 4. there isn't a used market for these devices yet. 5. used macs e.g m1 are now very cheap even high storage models
I bit the ARM bullet early, buying the Surface Pro X when it was new. 5 years later and almost none of the apps in my workflow have been ported over; devs just don't care. Worse yet, x86 emulation hasn't changed at all. Anything graphics intensive and 64 bit is a lost cause, and I can just pray that I can MAYBE run 32 bit apps at eye-wateringly slow speeds. To give you an idea how bad this is, my 2016 Lenovo Yoga Book with 4GB of RAM an an Atom x5 runs windows apps natively almost twice as fast as the SQ2 runs anything emulated. The speeds are THAT bad.
Microsoft has failed ARM, and ARM has failed me. I just sold my SPX and I am excited to go back to a competent laptop. My XPS 13 arrives monday.
I usually buy the Surface PRO from MS, but since switching to Snapdragon that pretty much sank my ability to use many engineering tools. Who cares if software runs faster if you can't run the software you need? I need more than Office, Calc, and notepad.
Having used all iterations of the Surface ARM machines, I knew what I was getting in the end. The promises seemed a little too good to be true, but basically, it's just a Windows laptop that lasts longer than most others. That's it. I don't want Recall, and I don't see AI as something I'd use daily and will be something that will annoy me when it does get used.
Perhaps reduce the price of Snapdragon PCs by 50% then I might be interested.
My Snapdragon Lenovo laptop is already well priced. Pricewise and performancewise of that Snapdragon is similar to all elite x86 equivalent. My biggest attention with my Lenovo is the battery life. It last way longer while unplugged from the wall without needing to reduce brightness and CPU performance. It last around 5 to 10 hours on battery but that's already way better than my former x86 laptop which could last AN HOUR at best!
For context, the latest Pixel's Tensor chip is just as much powerful as Kirin 9020. So technically, Google too is 3 years behind competition in terms of SoC technology
if they priced it properly, they would sell even considering the compatibility issues, for a first generation product, i would just go for a lunar lake or macbook instead, even ryzen are great, a slightly less battery life but way more multicore power than the lunar lakes.
I was looking at Snapdragon laptops recently during sales because i like the idea of ARM, but they cost to much. Unless you really just want battery life for basic tasks i don`t think they are worth it yet. For less then the price of the cheapest 8 core Snapdragon i got a AMD 8845HS laptop instead. It may have slightly worse battery life, but its supports more apps, am not stuck with Win 11, and the screen and speakers are better. Unless they do some serious software improvements and/or get the price down its going to take longer then 5 years to reach 50%.
Ugh. Why couldn't Sony have made a portable PS4? Are the chips not all available anymore or something? Making it PS5 based is so pointless for a handheld for so many reasons. We could have had a 1440p Ps4 pro based portable for under 500 dollars but now the PS5 based one will probably be over 1000 and be 1080p for battery savings.
The RP Pico 2W is cool and all, but cant they finally release the damn chip without a dev board? Its awesome, but unavailable...
Laptops need a new vision of their features in order for sales to move, like how phones used to intrigue us (and still intrigue us a little). The folding screen idea was good but poorly executed and at a silly high price point. Back then, there was the idea of ultra books, there was windows' concept of continuity, 2 in 1 laptops, modularity, or even hdd to ssd. But now it's just faster chips. Offhand, I rmb my breath taken away by a Toshiba 7 in 1 concept at some trade show... can't rmb details though.
seeing this 40 min after uploaded is crazy
7:15 Berlin vibe.....
Sonys major disadvantage is their primary media will not be compatible with their handheld. I bet they also won’t introduce carts like switch. Don’t care for digital only handhelds. Unless they’re basically emulation devices. Ain’t funding your digital only wasteland.
They don't sale because they are prices like premium devices with no compromise.
Just not enough marketing, no budget options, accessibility issues.
I find the SD laptops a great idea but the compatibility hinders it from getting more attention.
FYI My Snapdragon powered Lenovo Yoga is a 3K HD laptop. Best of all is the battery life unplugged!
Several countries have implemented bans or restrictions on Huawei products, primarily due to security concerns and geopolitical tensions. Here are some of the key countries:
* United States: The US has imposed comprehensive bans on Huawei, prohibiting US companies from doing business with the Chinese tech giant.
* Australia: Australia has banned Huawei from participating in its 5G network rollout.
* New Zealand: New Zealand has also banned Huawei from its 5G network.
* Japan: Japan has restricted the use of Huawei equipment in its 5G network.
* Taiwan: Taiwan has banned the use of Huawei equipment in its government agencies.
* United Kingdom: The UK initially allowed Huawei to participate in its 5G network but later tightened restrictions and ultimately phased out its equipment.
It's important to note that the specific restrictions and bans may vary over time, and some countries may have eased or tightened their policies.
People didn't want to buy Windows RT devices which were priced like decent laptops but ran none of the Windows X86 applications. Go figure that people do not either want to buy Windows ARM devices which are priced like decent laptops and only run some of the Windows X86 applications (with a varying degree of performance).
50% marketshare in the next 5 years is completely unrealistic. Even if you take all x86 machines off the market, I think it'd still be difficult to hit that number just because most people don't buy new machines very frequently. Especially when the cost of more important things like food/gas/etc is as high as ever.
50% of new sales, not of existing devices
@@TheFridayCheckout That makes a little more sense, I misunderstood what you meant. Honestly still sounds like a big stretch though if I'm going to be honest.
They should definitely make it illegal to stop software support or security updates, without disclosing how long the software support or security updates will be there to the customer.
I don’t really see how making this illegal having that much of an impact. Because most brands already disclose this. But most people don’t care about software and or security updates anyways.
@CGGS_0 only phone companies do, the rest disclose it on page 60 of their privacy policy or terms of service so of course nobody's going to see or read it.
The price....its something thats holding back snapdragon.
2:43 I guess that Win 11, with all the AI stuff that runs on Azure, especially on ARM, ist not that great.
