Who is the most powerful AI PC? Lenovo Copilot+PC performance beats Apple
Lenovo's Copilot+ PC series laptops have been launched and underwent laboratory testing, achieving exciting results. This PC supports built-in AI functions and competes fiercely with Apple's MacBook Air M3. The initial release of Copilot+ PC coincided with Apple's launch of its own device with a built-in AI platform, laying the foundation for an AI PC showdown. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x performed exceptionally well in performance tests, surpassing the average scores of other high-end laptops. This PC may become a competitor to the MacBook Air
According to Zhitong Finance APP, on June 18th, the first batch of Copilot+ PC finally hit the market, including Lenovo (00992) Yoga Slim 7x (Chinese version YOGA Air 14s Snapdragon AI Yuanqi) and many other products, which will bring fierce competition to Apple's MacBook Air M3. Well-known tech media Laptop Mag conducted comprehensive laboratory tests on the Yoga Slim 7x, stating that "the test results are exciting".
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is priced at $1199, similar to the price of the MacBook Air M3, with equally slim and stylish design. Will this Copilot+ PC also become the biggest competitor to the MacBook Air?
Copilot+ PC is a new series of Windows laptops running the Microsoft Copilot AI platform, supporting various devices with built-in AI functions. The release of the first batch of Copilot+ PC coincided with Apple's announcement of its own built-in AI platform at WWDC 2024, which will gradually land on macOS in the coming months. These consecutive launches have laid the foundation for an intense AI PC showdown.
After months of speculation, we finally obtained the actual benchmark test results of the first batch of Copilot+ PC. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x achieved impressive results in performance tests by Laptop Mag. It scored as high as 13750 on Geekbench 6 and completed the HandBrake video transcoding test in 5 minutes and 16 seconds.
These results far exceed the average scores of high-end laptops on Geekbench 6 (9,910) and HandBrake (8:07). The performance of Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x surpasses that of MacBook Air M3 and MacBook Pro M3.
The Yoga Slim 7x scored over 1,600 points higher than the MacBook Air M3 on Geekbench 6, and over 1,700 points higher than the MacBook Pro M3. In the HandBrake test, it was also more than a minute faster than the Air. However, the MacBook Pro M3's score on HandBrake is very close to that of the Yoga Slim 7x, trailing by only 22 seconds These results imply how powerful the CPU of Yoga Slim 7x is. It is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100, which is the lowest level of Snapdragon X Elite. If the lowest power version of Snapdragon X Elite can outperform Apple's M3 chip, then the more powerful X13-80-100 and X1E-84-100 may have breakthrough capabilities.
These results are a good sign for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, indicating that it is an excellent laptop capable of creative and productive tasks such as video editing, design, or daily web browsing
