- thewebguyd 2y agoThey're still held back by the chips. RaptorLake gets close (and beats) the M3 in performance in some areas, but not in heat or fan noise. No doubt they are all great machines, but after using an air for the last few years I can't use anything else that's not as cool or as quiet. I'm holding out for Asahi Linux, or some better (and Linux supported) snapdragon elite offerings. The new surface laptop 7 is pretty close hardware wise (except the keyboard) but it can't run Linux, sadly.
- alecsm 2y agoI think Slimbook is releasing a Snapdragon laptop next year. I'm not a big fan of ARM in the desktop but I'm genuinely curious about it.
- Wytwwww 2y agoRaptor Lake is pretty ancient, though. Wasn't it basically the same as Alder Lake? Lunar Lake is supposedly pretty close to the Snapdragon. A bit slower but no need to bother with ARM and a much better GPU (if that matters).
