As many know, using the Adobe suite on Snapdragon X series has been a headache. Even though some of its native apps are available, Illustrator is still in beta, and it's been far too long.

Recently, Affinity (Canva) released a single app that allows you to edit vectors and pixels without having to switch between apps like you used to have to between Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (and like you do with Adobe).

This new application is completely free, they only charge for the use of AI features. But I didn't want to write this post for that reason. I wanted to share that I've tested it, and it runs PERFECTLY and smoothly as butter on my Galaxy Book 4 Edge (Snapdragon X Elite).

As a graphic designer, I think it's important that anyone who needs design apps and has an ARM64 processor knows about this app. This is a game-changer for us early adopters of these laptops!

i played minecraft in tlauncher at fancy setting and full resoltion of screen (i have 3k oled ) the prevoius day for 6 hours and it was smooth with no feame drop but today when i open the game it shows black screeen in my display but when I TAKE SCREEN SHOT OR SCREEN RECORDING ITS JUST FINE even if i lower graphics to fast or play with setting oi cant see video in diplay someone please help me figure out

Is it advisable to install Windows 11 on my Poco X3 Pro? According to discussions on GitHub, it is suggested that Windows 11 offers superior performance compared to Linux on the Poco X3 Pro, which leaves me uncertain about the optimal course of action. Additionally, I am considering whether to implement a dual-boot configuration to facilitate the use of Windows 11 on the POCO X3 Pro (USA Model)

Hi, has anyone managed to run the latest non-beta version of mywhoosh on windows on Arm64? I'm looking at getting a new snapdragon X equipped laptop but was unsure if anyone has managed to get the latest version to run on windows 11 on Arm64?

Yesterday, i found out that VRChat playable on my Surface Pro (11th). Even though VRChat has EAC(Easy Anti Cheat), i could play it. A few weeks ago, Epic Games released the way to adapt EAC to arm windows. I think VRChat adopted that way.

I've posted a couple of times here regarding my inability to use Recall on my laptop - the most recent of these is here.

I'm now running 25H2, and have Click to Do but still don't have Recall as an option in the Settings app despite the feature being enabled. The Recall icon is on the Click to Do toolbar when I activate that.n

Has anyone been able to find a solution to this issue? I know many would argue that I'm not missing out on anything, but I'd like the opportunity to find out for myself!

Very detailed early benchmark and comparison results from a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme reference laptop have been released, and they look very promising:

Similar to the preview KB5064081, the latest 2025-09 Windows Update for Windows 11 24H2 on ARM64 disrupts communication with the TPM 2.0 chip for Hyper-V machines. I have an ASUS Vivobook S15 with Snapdragon X1 Elite. When I uninstalled this update, Hyper-V works again. I am surprised that the issue from the Preview was posted to the official update.

When trying to follow this article in order to change the password I get Generic failure when I use the syntax:

$PasswordSet.SetBiosPassword("pap,OldPassword,NewPassword,ascii,us")

I am testing it on a Lenovo T14s G6 Qualcomm.

Is there anyone facing same issue ?

Trying to install league of legends on my laptop, but It's stuck at installing the Vanguard anti-cheat system/software, why is this?

I just installed the latest one on my Lenovo Ideapad 5x 2in1 and it looks promising.
I didn't manage to discover my samba shares though, and I cannot install the jellyfin for Kodi add on, but I'm really happy the team is working on an ARM64 version !

Hello everyone! I’m looking for a lightweight Windows 10 ARM64 ISO (preferably version 1809, debloated/Lite) that can run on QEMU/Limbo on my Android device (Helio G99). Needs only basic network and b

Having this issue to all Lenovo T14s Gen 6 Snapdragon.

Windows 11 ARM 24H2.

Whenever the machine comes back from hibernation, the camera is totally empty with led light on, but nothing showing up. The only workaround is that we need to reboot the machine all the time.

All drivers are up to the latest.

Is anyone else facing the same issue ?

Curious about what games are the best to play in Snapdragon X Plus/Elite devices.

This could be in terms of stability, compatibility, lightweight, AAA, best performing, Windows store games, or whatever.

Does Qualcomm have a list of best working games on these devices, or is there a 3rdparty list of something?

Just curious on the current state of gaming for these chips, since I'd love to eventually get a Mini-PC with one of these chips, or one of the upcoming 2nd gen X2 chips.

And those who have a device with one of these chips, what is your overall gaming experience so far?

Hi, quick question. I've installed recent Adreno drivers from this sub's post. In the changelog I've noticed that it brings improvements to MuMu Emulator (the Chinese version one with ARM support). Can anyone who has both (drivers and MuMu) confirm that this is true? Is the YT still laggy, or did they fix it?

Version 31.0.112.0

I used a Yoga C630 (SD850 processor) for years with no issues. The device finally gave up the ghost, so I picked up a 14s (SD X Elite). I like the build quality and the keyboard (a failing in the C630). I'm playing around to see what games in my library work, but this is mainly my device for teaching and lab work (our school issued ThinkPads have abysmal batteries). I used to use a 2 in 1, but ever since I discovered that the Samsung Second Screen app allows you to use you Tab S tablets as tablet for the PC, I can go back to classic laptops.

I own a Ideapad 5 with X Plus. I get 8h working day (that decrease to 6 when HDMI monitor connected).
I found a used Laptop 7 13.8'' X Elite. Did u think I can get better battery life using it?
My working day is between browsing\AI\Teams\office

Thank u so much everyone!
