Lenovo’s Snapdragon X2 Windows laptops are worth your attention amid RAMageddon

I’ve been worried about the next generation of Windows laptops, to the point where I begrudingly bought a MacBook Air earlier this year because I figured my next Windows upgrade would be a costly one. After spending some time with Lenovo’s latest batch of Snapdragon X2-powered Windows laptops, though, I wish I’d waited – despite RAMageddon, Lenovo is putting out some solid machines here at prices that make sense. In 2024, Qualcomm changed the game on Windows laptops with its Snapdragon X chipsets, and I have been using a Microsoft Surface Laptop with the Elite in the time since. But that first-generation attempt has been feeling its age, just in time for Snapdragon X2 laptops to launch. Lenovo is one of the first brands out of the gate with new hardware, and I’ve had some time with the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x as of late to see how Qualcomm’s offering has improved. And it’s that chip that matters most to me here. Advertisement - scroll for more content
