Some Reddit user picked up an ASUS Vivobook S15 with a Snapdragon X Plus chip, and the whole thing has been a disaster for a year straight. The student says his laptop has been plagued with bugs, zero SQL Server support, driver conflicts, and ASUS hasn't pushed a single update since June.
The machine flashes white when switching windows and lags even on the home screen. Reinstalling Windows helped a bit, but the problems keep coming back. ASUS basically abandoned the product after a few months, leaving users to figure everything out themselves.
Qualcomm has the next wave of Snapdragon X2 chips coming out soon, but they need to get their act together with partners before launch. If they mess this up again, Apple's just going to keep eating their lunch while Windows ARM laptops stay broken.
