Lenovo made its first ThinkPad powered by a Snapdragon chip

Unlike Apple's M1 MacBooks, ARM-based Windows on Snapdragon laptops haven't enjoyed quite the same level of success or popularity. But Lenovo is hoping to change that – at least for enterprise customers – with the new ThinkPad X13s. The ThinkPad X13s' secret weapon is its Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip, which Lenovo says is the first time Qualcomm's newest laptop processor has been featured in a commercial device. By leveraging improved energy efficiency and a low-power 400-nit 13.3-inch display, Lenovo says the ThinkPad X13s can last up to 28 hours on a single charge. That said, I'm going to want to confirm this myself, because I've definitely been burned by shorter-than-expected longevity on previous Windows on Snapdragon machines.
