@@AZisk Hi! Is the djay pro you used are running natively and using npu on xelite or just you use emulation on this application? i really want to know. thanks!
You should have showed the last graph compared to Core Ultra 7 series 200 instead of the previous series from Intel. Other than that I like your video, because I can see myself going on trips like that soon as well but with my newly bought Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition. I can for the first time go on a trip with an ultra-thin laptop without feeling down on performance and battery at the same time.
Great video for programmers using a Snapdragon X Elite laptop. The apps & software maybe limited to use, but for the ones you can use seem to run great.
The opening shots of you in that particular airport gave me PTSD. I travel through there quite a lot and my last experience there was HORRID. As always, great stuff, Alex. I hope the adoption of the Arm standard comes to Windows a lot faster than it did to Mac. Four years later, I'm STILL waiting for a couple of my dev tools to be updated. And I think I read somewhere that Apple won't support running apps through Rosetta forever.
@@angrysob7962 There is ZERO chance it was happen quicker on Windows. The Windows eco system is so embedded in enterprises on such a wide basis that we'll be looking at a 10-15 year migration window at best and more like a 20 year one.
Best reviews Alex!! I’m super torn now with all the products coming out, i really like the new core ultras for what I do being mostly MS, but, now way I want to use that with recall spywear. I’m not keen on a snap yet, need certain things to work, but great they are forcing a reaction from the big boys. Waiting to see what apple pops up with, might be an M4 with parallels is the solution.
Hey alex, really love your videos. I have an idea for a future vid, instead of buying a powerful laptop build a powerful desktop and use a cheaper and/or weaker laptop with decent screen, touchpad etc to remote access it using parsec. Anyways thanks😊
Sponsored aside, the problem with Windows on ARM (at least for the current generation), is the Intel Lunar lake is out, it's as efficient (if not better), it's running on x86, probably holds the value better than the ARMs. There's little motivation to go ARM on Windows right now.
I've used Asahi linux for a bit, and while a lot of popular open source apps have arm builds some, especially proprietary apps like slack and discord, don't. At the moment, it's still much more comfortable staying on x86 and knowing that everything that can work will.
Dell XPS 13 is the only one that offers 64 GB RAM, so it's a win in my book for a dev machine.. please try it with Docker for Desktop and Kubernetes.. usually the CPU is exhausted before the RAM 😜
Intel Lunar Lake is out there , some people tested the battery life and performance and it has an impressive results. We wait you to test it out, i believe you will do it better than anyone 💗
The biggest drawback for me is that Pytorch or tensorflow doesnt support Qualcomm accelerators or GPU out of the box. Also, training ML models on them is not possible ? Comments
As a viewer from Portugal who's enjoyed your content for the past three years, I was disappointed not to receive a reply to my email. I had high expectations, but this experience has left me feeling let down. I hope you'll consider being more responsive to your audience in the future. Thanks for the content.
I do want to see the same test with the Lunar Lake version. It should last more or less the same, but without the compatibility inconveniences, with a wqy better GPU and it should also be better with that LLM activity.
14" macbook pro is heavy, the 16" one is ridiculously such... coming from a X1 carbon at 1.2 kg I feel the 14" macbook pro but do love all the benefits, they beat the extra weight!
I know youtubers are mostly behind money, increasing views become more important than actual quality. So, I don't happen to attach much feelings to them. But this man deserves my love !
I hope you have like Lisbon and try pastel de nata. I like your videos about Snapdragon laptop and I'm thinking in buying one. One thing that I worry is Snapdragon support for Linux, since I prefer Linux to windows
I am looking towards Windows laptops as they have become so good with battery life. Both the X Elite and Lunar Lake get good scores with battery. I saw a comment on Lenovo’s website from a customer who bought one of their latest laptops. It said that program efficiency isnt good. The Windows version of Spotify ate up all the RAM and brought down the power from 10 hrs to 3. Is this something you are aware of? Are other programs also more power hungry than say on a mac? No laptop reviewer i’ve seen on youtube has commented on this How is it on the X Elite?
The Spotify comment must have been a troll, or their system was messed up. I have a Yoga Slim 7x and also a Surface Pro 11 with X Plus. Spotify works perfectly and has been a native ARM64 app for years now. I don't like Apple so can't compare but the Snapdragon Windows machines are amazingly efficient, the battery lasts and they barely get even warm in regular use.
@@davidneale530 thank you for clarifying. So according to the reviews the lunar lake chip is as efficient as the snapdragon, but the snapdragon seems more efficient with the multi-core tests. The added bonus with the intel chip is everything being compatible with x86. I am also happy that Apple isnt the only one with efficient computers these days. I feel like I get more for my money with a new windows laptop. Almost too good to be true when I look at the specs. Ah you have the Slim X, I love the keyboard on that one and the others like it. Sublime! So you have both an intel version and snapdragon. Ok so the Slim x isnt Lunar Lake, but do you think your snapdragon would be more efficient than the Lunar Lake chipP They seem close.
@@RobertLindberg-cv3vj The Yoga Slim 7x is an X Elite and the Surface Pro 11 is the X Plus, both Snapdragon and Windows on ARM. I knew I would be fine for compatability because I had in the past a Surface Pro X and so I knew just what I was getting. I do also have an Intel laptop and desktops so again the compatability isn't an issue for me personally. From what I've seen, Lunar Lake is not going to compile code as fast as the Snapdragon and to be honest I'm just bored of Intel and x86. ARM just seems more interesting. Only you know your real use cases.
Yeah, it is everything very nice, but there is still lack of support from VPN software (Fortinet for example, not able to even install) and it is showstopper for most of the people who works in corporate world. As well Virtualisation is far behind (no VirtualBox and VMWare support) and it will take years to catch up x86
Could you make a video about the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 X-Elite variant. It's the only one so far you havent reviewd and it would mean a lot (battery tests etc)
don't leave your camera at cafe! can you do *more or less the same* workload with a Qualcomm Snapdragon gen3ish phone with wireless earbuds, keyboard and mouse?
What quant did you use for llama 8b and how many tokens per sec did it get. Can you make more videos ruining bigger models like llama 70b on consumer hardware.
Great Video. Alex, what about cloud GPU rental. Is it worth it for folks looking to mess around with LLMs but don't want the upfront cost of 4090's or other serious GPU's?
Can you build x64 docker containers? Eg, on an Apple Silicon Mac machine, your docker containers can be made to THINK they are x64, but compilation inside issues exceptions regarding binary format. I’m looking at you, Dart.
Thats why I stick to x86..Bought lenovo with amd 7840u for much lower price and it can even game pretty well, battery is ok around 7h mixed work/yt, running linux on it
I have the newest dell XPS 13 with intels lunar lake and i got to say I think i prefer that considering battery life is amazing. Don’t have to worry about compatibility
every time I want to try a (new) laptop out on a trip, I always have my workstation at home online and connected to my VPN to remote in and do work if the darn laptop can't do something I need 😵
i think the x elite is a best choice because the battery life is great and if you travel a lot the x elite is a plus and because of the portability of the laptop and the battery i think it is a great laptop for traveling long distances
