Copilot+ PCs are here – 11 Snapdragon X Elite laptops you can buy now

Laptops powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus have been released. As the first Microsoft Copilot+ PCs, these machines not only promise to run AI-driven tasks locally, but are also said to have excellent battery life. Microsoft has tried its hand at Arm-based computers before, but these new devices could actually succeed – and perhaps challenge Apple’s M-series Macs.

These aren’t the first “AI laptops,” as notebooks with Intel’s Meteor Lake chips hit the market last December. However, Qualcomm’s silicon promises to be much faster and more energy efficient than Intel’s processors. If our qualitative review of the Asus Vivobook S 15 is any indication, Snapdragon X chips could be the real deal.

Several big-name manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell, Asus, Microsoft, and others released a number of Copilot+ PCs today (June 19). However, some Copilot+ PC features, such as Windows Recall, are not ready yet. But even though we have to wait for some features, these new laptops promise better-than-average battery life for Windows 11 laptops.

Here are all the Copilot+ PCs available now or coming soon. Thanks to our friends at Tom’s Hardware for inspiring this post.

Not to be confused with the Intel Meteor Lake-powered Acer Swift Go 14, the Acer Swift 14 AI is another AI-focused machine (as the name suggests) – only it’s powered by either a Snapdragon X Plus or Snapdragon X Elite chip. Like many of the other laptops listed here, the Acer Swift 14 AI has (or will have) Copilot+ PC features like Recall, Cocreator, Windows Studio Effect, and Live Captions.

The Asus Vivobook S 15 is one of the first Snapdragon X Elite laptops we’ve tried. While it’s nothing special visually, its Qualcomm processor was powerful enough to handle everyday tasks and even light gaming in our qualitative testing. We were also impressed with the battery life, which only dropped from 100% to 47% over 12 hours. If the other laptops on this list have similar endurance, Qualcomm’s battery life claims will be borne out.

Dell XPS13

Dell has already released the redesigned Dell XPS 14 and Dell XPS 16. Now it’s time to launch the new Dell XPS 13. The main attraction is the Snapdragon X Elite chip, but the fact that you can upgrade to a touchscreen is also nice. Dell XPS 13 laptops are pretty popular, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see this particular model take off – even if it looks like the controversial Dell XPS 13 Plus.

Dell Inspiron 14

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is a great choice if you’re on a budget. While it has a lower-end Snapdragon X Elite chip, you still have access to the Copilot+ PC features mentioned above. These features make this arguably the most exciting Inspiron laptop in years.

HP EliteBook 840 G1

The HP EliteBook Ultra is essentially the enterprise version of the HP OmniBook X. It’s more expensive than many of the notebooks on this list (possibly because it’s a business laptop), but offers the sleek design of the new OmniBook.

And of course we have the HP OmniBook X. As I said in my hands-on review of the HP OmniBook X, the OmniBook brand is slowly replacing other HP brands like Envy, Pavilion and Spectre to make buying an HP notebook easier. The lightweight design and durable aluminum chassis are impressive, as is the 14-inch touchscreen.

Lenovo Yoga 720

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is another Snapdragon X Elite laptop that I’ve briefly tried out. Its ultraportable design is reminiscent of a MacBook Air M3, which is certainly no coincidence. Like Apple’s thin and light laptop, the Yoga Slim 7x should be a great travel companion – especially if it’s as powerful and efficient as we expect.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is another business laptop with Snapdragon X. Copilot+ PC features like Windows Studio Effects are designed to improve the quality of video calls by brightening your image and removing background noise.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7

Of course, Microsoft’s latest Surface devices are Copilot+ PCs. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 looks exactly like its predecessor, but offers the choice of a Snapdragon X Elite or X Plus processor. The starting price (with X Plus) is $999, which makes this laptop tempting.

Microsoft Surface Pro 11

The new Microsoft Surface Pro 11 brings Snapdragon X power to the company’s tablet/laptop. Like the new Surface Laptop 7, this device looks similar to its predecessor. However, the Copilot+ PC features and the promised performance and efficiency of Snapdragon X could make this the best Surface Pro yet. Plus, you can opt for a model with an OLED display, which is a first for the Surface Pro line!

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge AI

Lastly, we have the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge AI. I am a huge fan of Samsung laptops, so I am curious to see how this notebook compares in terms of performance and battery life to the Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, which features an Intel Meteor Lake chip. This notebook is available in 14 and 16-inch sizes.
