Why Snapdragon is Windows Secret Weapon 

it's a must have feature if you're an overbearing boss and your employees work from home. Surveillance tech is really digging in in the corporate space.

If a huge company promises "VIP" access to report on various new features etc then some people will say whatever it takes to keep that "VIP" avcess

@@robsquared2 at this rate just put them on probation if you can’t trust your workers that badly Jesus Christ

it looks very useful tbh, being able to comb through my pc history and roll back would be very useful.

Recall is such an awesome feature; I have so often than not wished to have a history for the whole computer and not just for the browser. It might not be helpful for everyone but is definitely super helpful for me.

how about Windows CE and Mobile then 😅

@@richardwang9315 Were those devices not largely powered by RISC/MIPS CPUs?

Most people would rather forget Windows RT ever existed 😅

because they tried to forget about it since it was horrible

I worked for surface support during that time period, those tablets were absolute trash. If the store went down they were literally worthless.

He is holding the lubricant

you mean satya nadella

@@junior-OGhe’s middle management, just like all the imports.

And edited extensively

Welcome to bigger channels where they are just mouth pieces. No actual content just whole video of ad so they can get free hardware and can't say anything negative about the product.

Same shit as all the content creators.

Yet, here we are....

Yeah... It can be entertaining

The biggest issue with windows (before all their privacy invasive stuff) was that it was just bloated as shit, especially if you have a lower end pc let’s say 4gb of ram then like 1/4 to 1/2 of that ram is devoured by just the OS which would make it so that if you had windows on a laptop like I just said it would probably fail to run terraria

Every company is all about recurring revenue streams or rent seeking behavior. It's the end stage of capitalism.

You don't think every other OS does the same? Talk about hypocrite At least I trust my data with Microsoft

@@estiennetaylor1260 Not like this :( . I know that nobody is a saint, but I'm using MacOS regularly as well and it feels less of an adware type of experience. I also don't like that MS changing things without giving you the option to revert, like the task bar that I don't like at all and every time MS brings out an update, I have to patch it again to bring back the old one. That is just one of the reasons why I'm not really using my Surface Laptop that much nowadays.

@@petersziraki7672 MacOS has their own built in telemetry that crapple keep track of every user regardless. Never had any problems with Windows updates since it's all automatic after I configured it.

That would mean Microsoft has a clue of what they're doing on the consumer side.

I suspect it's Googles fault. They wouldn't allow the play store to be included out of the box.

@@davidneale530 don't need the Play Store, they just need to make apk installable by default without the Amazon Store dependency and workarounds.

They did? Dang, I've not been using W11 for a while(been back on W10 and Linux Mint) but android apps were the main reason I was considering Windows 11 again. I have no problem with the OS itself except how corporate and dull it feels in comparison to all previous iterations, but aside from Android apps, it does nothing Windows 10 doesn't already do.

He’s been using a pre-production unit for the weeks he’s been testing.

Videos are filmed before they actually come out yknow

@@extra4542 sure but how unready this thing is if devices that will ship in 10 days were flashed in factory 28 days ago. So that would be considered final hardware and software then. I being using prototype for over a month and it was perfect for me.

embargo

@@marcinoo97 he’s been testing for SEVERAL WEEKS. It’s not like they’re sending him new ones everyday to keep up to date.

😂

You have had qualcom chips in smartphones for about a decade or more.

@@miker6570 you think I don't know that buddy? I want the X Elite Chip in a handheld. I want the power, compatibility with Windows, and efficiency.

@@LuciusAugustusRex Someday we'll have chips with Apple's efficiency, Intel's power and AMD's graphics that don't drain the battery in a single hour. That is the day handhelds will truly peak.

@@LuciusAugustusRex the GPU sucks azz. What are you going to use it for? Browsing? 😂 Plus you need a fan for better cooling

This is a hater and nothing else

From an Article I read Microsoft might charge a fee for extending security support and updates up to 3 years

Womp womp

I love Windows 11 and can't wait for Copilot + PC running Lunar Lake.

Thats exactly why i moved on from windows recently...

@@ok1lad159 Interesting take when every OS does the same thing under the hood 🤣🤣

@GarrusVakarian-to2uh For now, sure. In the future, who knows if you can or cannot turn it off. Also, Microsoft has a history of turning things back on when rolling out an update.

It should never have been opt out, it should be opt in ​@GarrusVakarian-to2uh

Snapdragon X Elite 🚀 🚀 🚀

look at what Apple has to do with high end compute. Changing architectures only works when you are ready to drop compatibilty with everything, or if your usecase is low performance so translation layer is easy. When apple attempts to do something with more compute (e.g Apples recent push into gaming), nothings really happening there. So any usecase where the native software needs a LOT of compute. The low end performance and use case does not cater to the reason why Windows is the largest used OS on the laptop/desktop space. AMD has no reason to panic. The fact that Qualcomm had to put graphs comparing against intel's raptor lake already tells you that they're trying to obfuscate information, as AMD was more performant, lower power consumption, and had a significantly better igpu, than intel does.

amd strix go brrrr

AMD 9 HX 370 has same almost same performance as desktop ryzen 7700. At very low tdp ,these are 3rd party benchmarks.

Thanks to those engineers

Not the same price bracket.

@@ivand5699Such a shitty excuse lol

@@ivand5699 but they’re using battery claims for the 15W chip with performance claims from the 80W one.

@@lordv1le859 the battery life claims are associated with the task like RU-vid playback, the 15w and 80w chip are the same, just a higher tdp ceiling, the 80w chip while playing RU-vid video will not operated at 80w.

So what you'd want to take away if you were interested in the tech itself, is the single core parity, rather than the multi core scores. The fact that they're beating M2 and almost equalling M3 single core scores while being on an older silicon tech node (M3 is 3nm and X Elite is 4nm) is pretty cool. At the end of the day, it's not just about the marketing hype of who's beating who, it's about presenting a viable alternative in the windows (and Linux) space to challenge the MacOS stranglehold. ✌️

They all do this, it's just what we're stuck with now. iOS? Stuck with Siri Android? Stuck with Google Windows? Stuck with whatever Microsoft's AI is called. At this point, the only option is to choose which one you distrust the least with your data and run with it.

Yes

Yah, he is really seems to be a very, very casual tech user for someone with a tech channel. No deep diving into anything like Modern Linux Gaming, or new CAMM memory or anything like that. It is usually "I wasted $1000 on ebay". Not a lot of though on how AI Workflow Tools baked into your OS may be a bad thing as well in an already arguably bloated OS. Not to even talk about the privacy/ownership issues Windows has. Local AI does not mean private.

I think it will be, apple said the same thing about their MacBooks until they moved to arm and actually hit those marks or better

Qualcomm is targeting laptops first and will come out with their desktop equivalent for AIO and small form factor PC.

@GarrusVakarian-to2uh really? Nice. I might pick one of those up. I don’t need a laptop, but I've got an open slot on my KVM.

My Lenovo gaming laptop has two slots for nvme SSD’s. I think most of their latest laptops do. However I am not sure if any have the new copilot plus chips.

@@rogeliocano9536 that's just it. Lenovo is pretty good about it. So is Acer. HP can be hit and miss. But I've been to a few other sites and there's nothing about it. doesn't mean it's not there but they don't list it. I feel like I heard one of them Maybe has it but I can't remember where I heard that..

Pro tip: Avoid HP, (to a lesser extent Dell) HP and especially HP laptops if you want any semblance of upgradeability. I've used laptops for years, and HP almost always use not just soldered in eMMc which is among the slowest storage options, but seldom have upgrade ports for it outside of USB sticks, and have everything else soldered too, like RAM, CPU, wi-fi card, etc. I've had many ASUS laptops and they've even had swappable CPUs (assuming you can find more [Socket X] CPUs for it online), my last one let me swap out my i5 for an i7, add a bigger SSD(not m.2 though) and upgrade the 4GB RAM to dual 8GB sticks. Personally, I'd suggest ASUS and Lenovo over the vast majority of other manufacturers if laptops are the way you want to go. And if it has HP anywhere on it, don't even sample it, you will be disappointed.

@@BlueEyedVibeChecker Good to know. Thanks.

Turn it off

@@christianr.5868 it can't ever be turned off

@@a.mirandahsr yes it can, it’s an option in the settings. And it’ll be off by default. Also the pictures take up physical space of your hardrive. So they can’t really get away with turning it on without you realizing if you watch your storage. That, and they’re fucked if they access any of your information remotely. Legally and just as a company. Peoples passwords and bank information openly available, I can’t imagine they’d be stupid enough to attempt that

I know there's been a lot of drama surrounding Asus' warranty service lately, but they have a nice looking Vivobook S with the Snapdragon X Elite for $1299.99 at Costco. 🤓

@@shaneterrell I had the Asus 13" one that looks like a really thick Surface. The battery burned out on. It took me all of 20 minutes on customer service to explain to them. The steps I had taken and then they gave me an RMA and I got it back about four weeks later, like brand new. So I haven't really had the same experience as a lot of people with their customer service. Then again that was a year ago.

@@RobertTowell Nice, thanks for the firsthand account! I generally prefer Windows 2-in-1s, but the Costco Asus Vivobook is tempting me with the 15" 3k OLED, X Elite, and 32gb of ram for only $1299. My name is Shane and I'm a tech addict. Lol

Nope, those people will likely stick with intel lunar lake. This is for people who respect the portability and performance of the m series but want it on their preferred platform

I still don't even know if they would include ethernet ports and, if so, what their speeds are. That's the kind of video we want 😐

@@bader51500both surface pro and surface laptop 7 have replaceable SSD’s. Don’t have interest in the other products so I haven’t checked for them

@@bader51500as for ram. I’m pretty sure it’s soldered since it’s arm

@@christianr.5868 I know, but I hoped they have a some kind of technology that allow you to add more ram, similar to swap on x86 architecture (I know it's software based, so it had nothing to do with the architecture, but I doubt they will add it to the arm version of windows 11). I believe the storage is soldered on, too, since they use eUFS, but maybe they added an extar m.2 or even a sata header for more storage.

Qualcomm have been working with Linaro to have Linux support straight away.

@@davidneale530 honestly, that’s the move. Microsoft has been making bad moves since windows 8. 10 was okay. 11 is an absolute dumpster fire

Embargooooo

Iirc avx2 is x86 contingent, so there’s no avx code in arm compiled apps. but don’t quote me on that

@@CalmDinosaur-jz9ej It won't be in ARM compiled apps. The question is if for the X64 compiled apps the new Prism emulator will emulate it so that these apps and games work. If you use HWInfo on an older version of Windows 11 you see their old emulation only had SSE and no AVX of any kind which is very limiting. If they fixed that with Prism thats big, if they didn't fix that however that can prevent some programs / games from running.

Yes ithas arm version, but i dont know if net Maui is support windows arm executable

Im also preordered on the SS NX 16" i like the form factor
