    However, the Snapdragon X Elite is not too far off the M3 Pro, as Windows Latest highlighted. It’s running at about 80% of the speed of this Apple SoC

    Uhhh. 80% the speed of Apple’s second-tier laptop chip doesn’t sound impressive to me.

      Not to mention that soon after these laptops are released, apple will get out m4. So windows is about 1.5 generations behind? Very impressive.

        There hasn’t been much development on the M Series since the M1. The M2 was essentially identical to the M1 with the clocks turned up and as a result worse thermals and battery life.

          Whatever, pc laptops are lagging behind so much its embarrassing. When I compare my 300 kilo lenovo Legion with a 30 kilo brick for charging that gets me an hour of work tops (strangely not an exaggeration) when disconnected to a thin 2 year or macbook m1 I just wanna cry.
