The Laptop Thread: Configs, deals & questions

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with ARM based Snapdragon processor is available in India now. Of all the Elite X laptops, this is the one I was most excited about. After seeing the Microsoft surface with inferior specs priced at 1.8L on Croma, I wasn't too hopeful, but I am pleasantly surprised.
With 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage it is priced at 1.5L. This does look like a great deal compared to Macbook Air.

Seeing the reviews the only downside I could see was apps not being optimized or ported to arm. But if your workload includes only MS Office and web browsing you should be fine. Even Visual Studio is available on arm and I think slack is too. So all in all for most people out there it should not be a problem.

Eagerly waiting for cheaper laptops using this processor.
