Asus introduces cheaper Zenbook A16 options (lightweight premium laptop with Snapdragon inside)

The Asus Zenbook A16 is a premium thin and light laptop with a 16 inch display, a 70 Wh battery, and a body that weighs less than 3 pounds and measures 16.5mm (0.65″) thick.

Asus introduced the laptop during CES in January and it went on sale in April. But at the time the only model available was a $1699 version with a 2880 x 1800 pixel, 120 Hz OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite […]

Excuse me, but #ARM for gaming will only be successful with Valve and #FEX.

Whatever does #NVIDIA and #Qualcomm for laptops with great graphics is a moot point.

#Windows11 is "getting there" so there is pressure for online gaming and anti-cheat, and the #SteamDeck exists.

It's more about a software problem rather than a #Windows problem, IMHO.

Weekly output: Musk digitally deleting USAID, Arm vs. Qualcomm, U.K. vs. Apple, 8K TV, Bletchley Park

One of this week’s published stories began with reporting weeks ago; another began with notes and photos taken months ago.

2/3/2025: Musk’s Minions Deleting Digital Presence of US International Development Agency, PCMag

I could not just write about the weird digital erasure Elon Musk and his goons have been inflicting on the online presence of the U.S. Agency for International Development without reminding readers of three important bits of context: USAID does good and useful work (as vouched for in that quote from Georgetown University government-department chair Anthony Arend, four of whose classes I took as an undergrad 35-plus years ago); USAID constituted all of .4% of the federal budget in fiscal year 2024; Elon Musk’s tweets show no sign of him having any interest in the agency until January.

2/6/2025: Arm Drops Effort to Cancel Qualcomm’s Chip-Licensing Deal, PCMag

If you were considering buying a Windows laptop with one of Qualcomm’s power-efficient Snapdragon X processors, this should rank as very good news.

2/7/2025: Report: UK Orders Apple to Disable E2E Encryption on iCloud Backups Worldwide, PCMag

Writing up the Washington Post’s scoop about this dangerous demand by the U.K.’s Home Office gave me a crash course in looking up and citing legislation on Parliament’s Web site–without which I would have been writing about the Investigatory Powers Act without pointing people to the text of that 2016 statute and its 2024 amendments.

2/8/2025: In 2025, the Picture for 8K TVs (Still) Isn’t Looking Too Bright or Sharp, PCMag

I originally had delusions of writing this piece from CES with a Las Vegas dateline, but the weeks since then allowed me to get some additional numbers from the Consumer Technology Association and quiz another analyst as well as the head of the 8K Association.

2/9/2025: To See Codebreaking At Its Most Metal, Visit Bletchley Park, PCMag

Some of you may remember my writing a piece about Bletchley Park for the long-gone information-security publication The Parallax in 2018. I decided to revisit this museum of WWII codebreaking when my trip to London in October for Uber’s Go-Get Zero event (on Uber’s dime) left me with an afternoon free, and I’m glad I did because I was able to check out one exhibit that I’d had to skip earlier and see a few exhibits they’d added since then.

Asus Vivobook S14 with Snapdragon X and an OLED display coming soon for $799 and up

The Asus Vivobook S14 (S3407QA) is a laptop that comes with a choice of 14 inch FHD OLED or 2.5K IPS LCD displays, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

It’s also one of the first laptops powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X (X1-26-100) processor made for lower-cost systems. So while this won’t be the cheapest Windows on ARM laptop available when it launches in the coming months, its $799 starting […]

Weekly output: Snapdragon Windows software compatibility, Qualcomm’s connected-car ambitions, Snap Spectacles ’24, Mark Vena podcast, Bluesky business plans, Qualcomm 8-core Snapdragon X Plus benchmarking, election security

Before I get to my usual list of what got published under my name this week, I need to vent about what did not get published by the Washington Post this week: the endorsement of Kamala Harris that, by multiple accounts, was quashed by imported-from-London publisher Will Lewis at the direction of owner Jeff Bezos. The insultingly vapid explanation by Lewis can only be read as Bezos attempting to grovel for a lesser spot for his businesses on Donald Trump’s enemies list.

This is a craven betrayal of the legacy of Katharine Graham, who defied the threats of Richard Nixon and his lackeys while the Post published the Pentagon Papers and documented Nixon’s Watergate crimes.

Jeff Bezos, you are no Kay Graham.

10/22/2024: Qualcomm Moves to Ease Windows on Snapdragon Compatibility Concerns, PCMag

My first post from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit covered a series of moves to address one lingering concern of that company’s rollout of fast and battery-friendly laptop processors: compatibility with existing Windows apps and peripherals. Reminder: Qualcomm covered my airfare and lodging on this trip.

10/24/2024: Qualcomm Revs Up Connected-Car Ambitions at Snapdragon Summit, PCMag

Then I filed a much longer post unpacking Qualcomm’s pitch to automakers to use its connected-car platforms. It was weird to see the only in-person endorsements from automakers in Qualcomm’s day-two keynote come from Chinese manufacturers.

10/25/2024: Snap Spectacles ’24 First Look: AR Glasses That Aren’t Vaporware, PCMag

I tried out these augmented-reality glasses Monday afternoon but didn’t have time to write about them until Thursday morning–the first-world problem of being at a conference with a packed schedule six time zones to the left of my editors.

10/25/2024: Ep 70 SmartTechCheck Moment — Ruminations on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit 2024 in Hawaii, Mark Vena

I joined my industry-analyst pal Mark Vena and other analysts Mike Feibus, Francis Sideco and Dave Altavilla to record a podcast from a lawn at the Wailea Beach Resort, Qualcomm’s venue for the summit.

10/25/2024: Bluesky Readies Subscription Option, Says It Won’t Be Like X Premium, PCMag

I hustled to write this short post from Maui’s airport before a flight to Los Angeles that I didn’t even realize would have no WiFi for most of the flight over the Pacific.

10/27/2024: Qualcomm’s 8-Core Snapdragon X Plus, Tested: A Competitive, Cheaper Chip, PCMag

The research for this post began with a benchmarking session Qualcomm hosted at IFA about seven weeks ago, after which my editor and I were respectively slammed with travel and other schedule conflicts–while, conveniently enough, laptops with these new processors had not yet shipped.

10/27/2024: Election security, Alaraby

I appeared via Zoom on this Arabic-language news channel to share some details from my experience as an Arlington County poll worker.

Updated 10/28/2024 to add a link to my TV hit.

Lilbits: A new PC with an old processor, ARM’s upscaling tech, Snapdragon X benchmarks, and another Rabbit R1 security issue

The Zilog Z80 microprocessor is an 8-bit chip that was first released in the 1970s and used in a variety of classic computers and game consoles including the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, TRS-80, and Sega Master System. While its features are very dated by 2024 standards, the chip was in production for five decades and was only discontinued earlier this […]

Lilbits: Linux on Snapdragon X, a PlayStation Portal knockoff, and a cheap smart glasses dev kit

The first laptops and tablets with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite chips are now available, and so far they all come with Windows 11 pre-installed. But Qualcomm has already made it clear that the chips can be used with other operating systems and the company has already done some work to bring support for Snapdragon X chips to the mainline Linux […]

Computex 落幕了
今年的不外乎就是 #AI 貫穿全場
花一點點時間來聊聊 AI 以外的事情

這次 Allen 最矚目的是 #qualcomm 新上的 PC #CPU #SnapdragonX 系列
撇開 AI 的部分不談
#高通想要吃 Windows 筆電市場已經不是新鮮事
從最早的 8c 、 8cx 再到 #microsoft 合作版本 #SQ1
當年雖然都以 PC 版本做號召
但實際規格與手機版本的規格並沒有太多的差別

這次的 Snapdragon X 上了 Elite 與 Plus 兩個系列
前者全系列四款產品都為 12 核心
後者只公開了一款產品為 10 核心
而目前已經公開的筆電款式主要以 Snapdragon X Elite 為主
功耗設定在 23 瓦
目前公開資料則可以看到 45 瓦甚至 100 瓦之譜

當年 8c 等產品除了軟體生態系尚未健全外
核心頻率也偏低
如今即便是最入門的產品也已經拉到了 3.4Ghz
中高階產品還有 Turbo 的設計
更貼近現代 x86 CPU 的設計

Lilbits: the Xbox Handheld is coming (eventually), another Linux phone, and some WWDC odds and ends

Apple kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today with a keynote where the company laid out some of the new features coming to Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and the Apple Vision Pro headset. Leading up to the event, there was a lot of buzz about Apple’s first big foray into the AI space. But Apple didn’t really even get to AI […]

Asus brings Snapdragon X chips to is Vivobook S 15 OLED line of semi-premium laptops

The Asus Vivobook laptop family sits in a weird space. Up until a few years ago these were lower-cost alternatives to the premium thin-and-light Asus Zenbook lineup. But Asus keeps adding premium features like OLED displays to select Vivobook models, and now the company has announced that it’s first Copilot+ PC will be the Asus Vivobook S […]
