Performance, unplugged: How PCs powered by Snapdragon are taking the modern workplace to the next level

Remote and hybrid work has become a major component of how many industries operate. But staying productive wherever you’re working demands cutting-edge tools that deliver both power and portability – all without the added anxiety of limited battery life. Snapdragon powered laptops are ready for that challenge, offering the combination of incredible performance and extensive battery life that lets you work from anywhere and however you choose.

A new design for a new paradigm

Traditional laptop designs based on the x86 architecture often force users to compromise. Lightweight and compact x86 devices lack power and screen-space for demanding tasks, while high-performance laptops typically need to be plugged in to show their full potential.

Windows on Snapdragon, however, does things differently.

In the latest generation of Snapdragon X Series processors, up to 12 high-performance Oryon CPU cores offer performance that can rival Apple’s M3 CPUs, as well as the best AMD and Intel chips have to offer – all while consuming significantly less power. That incredible efficiency allows for multi-day battery life: up to 22 hours from a single charge. Workers can stay productive for longer, without worrying about finding an outlet, whether they’re on the road, in their home office, or at a client site.

Unplugged power, wherever you go

Untethering workers is a major design philosophy behind Snapdragon on Windows. Snapdragon X SoCs don’t throttle performance when running from battery, unlike most traditional x86 laptop designs. This allows workers to complete even demanding tasks without reaching for a power cord. It keeps them more engaged in the task at hand, and that means they can work more autonomously.

The raw power and efficiency of Snapdragon X chips is augmented by their onboard neural processor (NPU). With up to 45 TOPS of AI performance, this chip can handle a number of tasks that would typically be managed by the CPU and GPU, freeing them up to tackle the demanding tasks they were designed for.

It also means running the latest AI-powered applications and tools won’t slow the laptop down, allowing Snapdragon X users to tap into all of the latest assistive technologies, without being weighed down by additional demands on their hardware.

Designed for the future of work

Snapdragon X laptops are redefining mobile computing in the workplaces of both today and tomorrow.  They combine power, portability, and advanced AI features on a single platform, all with the kind of efficiency that was previously reserved for low-power Chromebooks. Snapdragon X offers a compelling alternative to Intel, AMD, and Apple, and answers the question, Why can’t you have everything in a laptop? (You can!)

AI and modern hybrid working arrangements have opened the door to a new dynamic of more capable and independent workers. But they need the right tools for the job. Snapdragon X laptops are a flexible, capable option for anyone wanting the best that modern Windows laptops can be. Powerful, highly efficient, and able to leverage the latest technologies to handle the demands of the modern workplace, wherever it is.
