I'm at the 10th annual Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii (special thanks to Qualcomm for flying me halfway around the world to be here), and it's that time of year again: new laptop chips have officially arrived.
With the first generation of Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips already in the hands of consumers following a 2024 launch at Computex, it was only natural that chipmaker Qualcomm would want to go for another round; while the original X Elite chips were good, competition to be the company powering the best laptops was fierce. But sure enough, we now have confirmation that second-gen Snapdragon laptops are indeed inbound.
