So, I went out with my daughter to look at laptops for back-to-school and the store was dominated by Windows machines with Snapdragon X Elite chips at very reasonable prices. The energy efficiency, battery life, and quietness of these laptops is amazing. Also, I notice they all have these new NPU chips for AI, which I’m ambivalent about.
I’m a Linux-on-Thinkpad man, so I checked online and was happy to see that Lenovo is offering Snapdragon-based Thinkpads now. With these new developments, maybe it is finally time to upgrade my old T540p.
Has anyone here had experience yet running Linux on a Snapdragon-based laptop?
Take her to therapy to get rid of her love of slick.
Then give her chonky thinkpad with external replaceable batteries.
Part of this was sarcasm, the other was not :)
