Tested: Intel's Lunar Lake wants you to forget Qualcomm laptops exist

Lunar Lake is Intel's Snapdragon killer. Intel's Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake) was specifically designed to emphasize low power, but with competitive performance. In this it somewhat succeeds, though the Core Ultra 7 258V chip I tested can still run a distant second, or third, behind AMD's mobile Ryzen processors. But Lunar Lake also provides incredibly good, Snapdragon-like battery life with a powerful, embedded GPU capable of playing yesterday's top-tier games. Intel supplied us with a Lunar Lake-powered Asus ZenBook S14 laptop for review, and we've spent the last week or so testing it to answer the question: Of the AMD Ryzen AI 300, Intel's Lunar Lake, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, which is the best laptop processor so far in 2024? And how does Lunar Lake compare to its predecessor, Meteor Lake?
