Most business laptops are used in 2 places: the office and at home. Both places have WiFi. How do you reckon all those executives have managed until now on their non-5G MacBooks?!5G modems are great for business laptops
This means the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 coming in October 2024, will have support for Samsung's LPDDR5X 10.7 Gbps!!!Mass production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is scheduled to begin by the second half of the year, following verification with mobile application processor (AP) and mobile device providers.
The new LPDDR5X is the optimal solution for future on-device applications and is expected to expand adoption into PCs, accelerators, servers and automobiles

There's a case to be made for modems in laptops, but only for niche market segments. This feature is not going to help with market penetration.

This has not been the case with the X Elite. The modem is discrete.But like I said, Qualcomm is not going to listen to logic they are likely to build cellular into their SoC and try to claim it as an advantage over Intel/AMD laptops.
Yeah I agree it’s basically no big deal. The only reason anyone would care is battery life hits to the phone and inconvenience, but even in tablets we see this isn’t significant enough to make it a huge deal. I’d bet 90% of iPads sold are WiFi-only.And if you're traveling overseas with your laptop and can't tether to your phone due to roaming charges then a dongle for the laptop works perfectly well. Rather than buying a fleet of laptops with cellular it makes much more sense for a company to have a small number of dongles employees traveling overseas with their laptop can check out.
It’s not built into the SoCs as I explained.But like I said, Qualcomm is not going to listen to logic they are likely to build cellular into their SoC and try to claim it as an advantage over Intel/AMD laptops.
This is pretty great. The Yoga or Slim lineup is a very mainstream among the premium ultrabook laptops and this shows where they’re headed.Upcoming Snapdragon X Elite laptop leaked:

Qualcomm has only showcased Snapdragon X Elite reference devices to date. However, a reliable leaker has now provided an early look at the Yoga Slim 7 Snapdragon Edition, which shares its design with the x86 version of the same laptop, but with one unusual omission.www.notebookcheck.net
This is why Intel/AMD need to to upgrade to a 45-50 TOPS NPU. It looks like Meteor Lake or Hawk Point isn't going to get this.● Microsoft is working on a major new AI feature for Windows 11, which it plans to unveil during an event on May 20.
● The feature, dubbed AI Explorer internally, will be able to document and organize everything you see on your PC, and turn everything you do into a searchable memory with natural language.
● It looks like AI Explorer will launch first on new Arm PCs, as its system requirements list Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite NPU as a baseline.
● This would omit Intel's new AI PCs from taking advantage of this year's blockbuster AI feature.
Hence why Lunar Lake and Strix Point are coming soon after Snap X Elite.Microsoft's next breakthrough AI feature for Windows - AI Explorer will first debut in Snapdragon X Elite PCs

Total, not free space.Also, 225GB of Storage for the AI Explorer feature🤣. Yeah, no, thanks! I prefer to have storage ready for my things.
So how much would AI Explorer itself take up?Total, not free space.
I guess it depends on what was the official recommended/required size before. The size difference might tell something.So how much would AI Explorer itself take up?
