Title: This affordable ARM laptop must worry AMD and Intel: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15Q8X10 review
Post by: Redaktion on August 21, 2025, 19:23:06
With the Snapdragon X processor, Qualcomm wants to heat up the competition in the budget segment. A laptop with this chip: the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15Q8X10. The Oryon CPU really shows its strengths here, even if there certainly are some compromises to this budget laptop.

Probably not much considering you can get similar laptops from AMD and Intel that have no compatibility issues on Windows or Linux.

11.7 fps in Baldur's Gate 3? Wow. Also what the heck are those PL values, that's insane; 65W and 50W?! Meanwhile the M4 Air is at 20/8W and it destroys this one here. Actually that same Air is 250€ more expensive but it is infinitely superior in every regard. Sure it's a smaller screen but it's better to have a smaller excellent display than a larger crappy one, no? Weird machine. But a great review!

Better to have 10 hours with at minimum twice better everything (starting with MUCH better display, impeccable compatibility with Linux and other regular stuff in macOS, and of course performance) than 19 hours with everything at minimum twice worse.

Although it's 13-14 hours (M4 Air 13 here).
