I was just reading up on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite CPU. This thing is faster than Apple M2 Pro while using ~30% less power (23W i think).

Reason for this post is…

Who here would like an ARM Framework laptop to rival Apple’s? Rumours are, the big laptop players are already preparing.

I know the M3 is on the way, but that’s in H1 2024.

    I’d love it, but the problem is not only in the hardware availability, but software.

    I’m sure there are Linux builds that support ARM, but Windows’ implementation (at least for the current time) is exceedingly poor. I think it’s likely that we’ll have to wait for Microsoft to catch up to the ARMs race before Framework will invest the resources necessary to make that happen.
    Pun intended 😜
