A 30-year Intel loyalist has switched to a Snapdragon-powered laptop, according to a Reddit user. The user reported over 16 hours of battery life on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X with only 73% charge remaining. That implies the laptop could last nearly 48 hours on a full charge.
User reports over 16 hours at 73% charge
The IdeaPad Slim 3X uses an older 8-core Snapdragon X SoC. It features a 13.3-inch 1920×1200 IPS LCD display, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Battery life varies depending on the display type; OLED panels consume more power than IPS LCD.
The IdeaPad Slim 3X with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is priced at 530 USD (about $530) on Amazon.
In contrast, a Reddit user with a 16-inch Samsung laptop powered by a Snapdragon X Elite reported only 7 to 8 hours of battery life during web surfing. The exact model of the Snapdragon X in the IdeaPad Slim 3X was not specified by the user, but Lenovo's website indicates it is the older 8-core version.
