When Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X Elite, an Arm-based processor for Windows PCs, many thought that this could be the turning point for x86 chips, as the specs looked mighty powerful. That point might be somewhat far off in the future, though, as one of the first X Elite-equipped laptops from Samsung is priced well into Apple territory, for a medium-specced machine.
That's according to ComputerBase who report that dealer entries for the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge point to a price tag of 1,800 euros ($1966/£1,534/AU$2,976) for a 14-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB spec. If one hops over to the Apple Store and kits out the new M3-powered 13-inch Macbook Air with 16GB of RAM, you'll be faced with a charge of €1,759 or $1,499/£1,499/AU$2,399.
