Snapdragon acquired Nuvia, a startup founded in 2019 by three former engineers from Apple’s silicon team, including the Chief Architect, for $1.4 billion. Gerard Williams was the Head of Chip design ensuring the development of the A-chips and has spent a decade at Apple, Manu Gulati the 2nd partner has spent eight years working on iPhone chips and was also very senior at Apple, and John Bruno five years.
If Apple isn't able to compromise the legal system, in suing the former Apple employees (Apple spies on All Management of Apple 24x7, and a lot of this amounts of some very serious crimes under data protections and privacy, under various statutes), these guys could help Qualcomm create the biggest revolution in the SoC industry and we could mobile chips outperforming some of the biggest and most power hungry desktop chips.

Do same things at way more weight and size and less battery life. X86 arch is not built for mobility. Laptops are only around for legacy support. Once more and (good) software gets ported to ARM, we should say bye bye to laptops. Already a ton of stuff is better on a tablet (things having to do with sketching and/or media consumption).

    Literally, legacy support is the only thing going on for laptops, they are relics of a bygone era...

      I hope they include HDMI in support on the USB port this time. I'd love to use that screen on other devices.

        I wonder what the portability of a 14.6-inch tablet will be like, if it will be worth paying for this device $1200
        or more and if in terms of productivity it will be worth replacing the laptop with this Samsung Tab S8 Ultra.
        What do you think?

            Tablets can accommodate multiple batteries like laptops... Why can't they just give 100W charging and call it a day?

                      Lccy, 16 Sep 2021I didn't know the note 20u could do 48hz I think that... moreIndeed, this is the adaptative display, and I have installed an Hz monitor. When playing videos, the Hz goes from 120/60Hz to 48Hz, regardless of settings (if you set it to 60Hz only, it will fall down to 48Hz, blame Samsung). However, judder disappears once zi touch the screen, since touch input forces it back to 60Hz. The difference is very easy to notice, especially with animation.

                      The fact is that the TV industry has mastered judder elimination for modern panels that are faster than the ancient 24fps norm. That's why a movie on yourTV won't look like a messy blur with frames superposing over each other, unlike the Note20U and all 24/48Hz panels would.

You can find them for 10-20 dollars online, which is low enough to be worth the shot. A local repair shop would do the rest for you for quite cheap.

                              Nice spec for sure, but I don't think I'll be paying the price of a high-end Windows 10 laptop for an Android tablet. While Samsung DeX is a capable pocket computer for average consumers' work, it's still not a true Windows 10 replacement.

                                      Laptops only make sense for things that require (a lot of) typing and/or mouse support. They are increasingly a niche product. Also slower too I fully expect an SD 898 to absolutely wipe the floor of the quivalent Intel on similar wattage...

                                        14.6 inches seems perfect for productivity, though, I wonder what the price will be. Plus, would like more apps for video editing, that handle work at almost realtime. A super compressed Android version of Blackmaguc would be greatly appreciated.
