Comment on Ask HN: How has your experience been with a Snapdragon-based laptop?

Comments

I have a Surface Laptop 7 with 32GB RAM (the Costco edition).

Software-wise as a user, no complaints. All the software I use (90% MS stack) works perfectly.

Even as a developer in the Windows space I have 0 complaints.

Moving to WSL, even that works fine, as long as the software you can get is ARM64 (as your WSL layer doesn't have an emulator). And there you run into brew not supporting ARM64 for Linux... yet.

In terms of hardware, I'm super happy. The fan barely runs. The battery life is amazing. The charging port is MS' version of Magsafe, and adds safety.

The screen is not bad, but not good either. I wish it was brighter and had a higher resolution.
