Microsoft sent us its Surface Laptop 7 CoPilot+, one of the first laptops to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite processor.
After a gruelling wait since its inaugural debut, we've finally received a laptop powered by Qualcomm's ARM-based Snapdragon X Elite processor, and in the form of Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7 Co-Pilot+. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little bit sceptical with the Surface lineup but that said, I do have a burning desire to satiate my curiosity of an ARM-based Windows laptop, and whether or not the claims of profanely long battery life holds water.
On a sidebar, I think it imperative to point out that the Surface Laptop 7 is equipped with Qualcomm's second most powerful Snapdragon X Elite CPU, which is the X1E-80-100. To date, only the Dell XPS 13 has the privilege of rocking the creme de la creme of the line, the X1E-84-100. Another one of the more niggling issues with a laptop this size is the severe lack of ports. In total, the Surface Laptop 7 features two USB4 ports, a USB-A 3.1 port, and a 3.5mm audio combo port on the left side, while the dedicated charging port is situated on the right. I suppose it's the price you pay for portability but that being said, I've tested 14-inch models that are more bountiful with ports.Let's get this out of the way.
Moving on, you've probably heard this enough times but not all apps and programs play nice with the Surface Laptop's ARM processor, and the reason for that is simple: virtually, if not almost all PC apps that are readily available for the PC are x86 and x64 based. And if you weren't aware, the ones that are able to run on this laptop either had an ARM version of it made or it is running through a translation layer for the two architectures.
And that was where the buck ended. I don't have Baldur's Gate 3, but I did a couple of titles that technically could run out of the box. Namely, Borderlands 3 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The games run fine and with the help of Auto Super Resolution , I get an average 45 fps from both titles.
