    Dave PLEASE test the sleep state behaviors. The most infuriating thing about current Windows laptops is the awful sleep states where it force quits all your apps (yes sleep, not hibernate), and then takes 2 minutes to get fully up and running past all the startup processes even on high end machines. Forget battery life and efficiency, I just want a laptop that's ready to go when I open it.

    • @TabalugaDragon
      @TabalugaDragon Před 13 dny +333

      my experience is the opposite. On my laptop, current Windows standby is super power-hungry, so much so that the fans keep spinning, whereas on all my previous laptops it consumed little to no power in sleep mode. "It evolves, but backwards" meme is perfect for this.

      Confirmed that the x86 (and x86_64) applications can use ALL cores on this SoC. M1 emulation was good, but could only use two performance cores at once.
      This potentially makes this much better, however Apple Rosetta2 also transposed the Intel instructions to Armv8 at install time, which gave them a massive performance advantage immediately.

    noticed I'm getting this weird "headache" when watching certain channels. Turns out I'm still not used to 60fps

      Yeah, same. I still don’t really like the weird way 60fps looks

    Did they fix the issue with the screens cracking when you close the laptop? Or the hinges giving out after a couple years? I don’t feel like I’m very tough on my devices but the SL3 left a lot to be desired.

    Shoving useless AI down our throats like that is such a red flag. That dedicated copilot button is so forced and useless.

      Yeah it's shoving cause MS is doing it. If this was Apple's product then this would have been called "innovation" by Apple themselves their fan boys.

    a lot of space is offered with a unified soc design only downside is only storage is upgradable. so you have to buy what you think you may need now for ram offerings just like apple chips

    Looking good, hope laptops with this chip age well
