On the X13s or any ARM W11 laptop?

Well, have you tried on your X13s please?

I don’t have an x13s, but I have a SL7. I could try on there if it helps.

Can you get Slack and Skype working?

Slack has Windows for ARM in beta. Doubt Skype does though.

Not to worry, I'll do some desk research of my own

Thanks, my work environment is MS365, Slack and Skype. I'll investigate Skype

Skype installs from the MS Store and runs on my SL7 in emulation.

that battery test is pretty funny, the intel chips where awful

Been looking at a new laptop and was really intrigued by these. Around 1k can get a Apple M1 Pro (refurb) which seems to lag a little behind the Elite on benchmarks but Apple Silicon has had a few years head start to get apps up to date etc.

I found it interesting the Surface products out lasting the Apple Pros in the real world battery test. Didnt expect that.

Basically comes down to checking what apps you use and how many of them are native. You should expect any generally relevant and modern software to get a native build at some point.

The main thing I like about Snapdragon laptops is the extra RAM. I couldn’t stomach an 8GB machine.

Yeah that's very true. I think pretty much everything I need is available. All of my dev work id try to do on cloud machine anyway.

For the price of a Snapdragon Plus machine you can get an M1 pro with 16gb albeit refurb machine.

I probably don't need as much power as either of them for local work but it's nice to have I guess!
