Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung are the first manufacturers to deliver notebooks with Qualcomm's ARM processors Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus. They have seven models, each with different configurations, starting at 1200 euros.

Dell launches the XPS 13
With the XPS 13, Dell has the cheapest immediately available notebook with the 12-core Snapdragon X Elite. The X1E-80-100 version with CPU turbo clock frequencies of up to 4.0 GHz is used. However, only the configuration with 16 GB LPDDR5X-8448 RAM, a 512 GB SSD and the 1200p IPS display in the color Platinum has become available at short notice.
It costs 1399 euros in Dell's online store. All other variants and the Inspiron notebooks will follow in July.
Lenovo with 32 GB RAM
The Yoga Slim 7 (ab 1599 €) and the Thinkpad T14s G6 (ab 1739 €) are currently available from Lenovo, but only with the turbo-free Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100. These are the only two immediately available models with 32 GB of RAM.
Anyone waiting for the fastest processor variant, Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 will have to be patient: So far, only Samsung (ab 2069 €) has announced the Galaxy Book Edge 4 (ab 2069 €) with it, but it only has a rough delivery date between mid-July and mid-August.
As soon as the device is available, it remains to be seen whether the 84 Snapdragon will perform faster. The energy budget and cooling have a strong influence on the actual performance.
