Qualcomm probably didn’t expect a lukewarm response for the tier of Windows laptops powered by the Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus. The chipsets were viable alternatives to Apple’s M-series MacBooks, with competitive performance and long battery life. But patronage at an existing ecosystem was probably a decision hamstrung by a limited range of native applications, high entry prices, and poor build quality, leading to a high return rate for such notebooks.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X Laptops Hit 10% Market Share in December 2024, With Strong Sales Around $800
Despite these early setbacks, December 2024 turned out to be a statistically better month for Qualcomm. In the latest earnings call held by the company, CEO Cristiano Amon revealed that the Snapdragon X first pieces of technology on the market, the new generation of laptop devices powered by mixed generation SoCs — the Snapdragon X series of products.
According to Windows Central, Amon said that they were already satisfied with how customers received the new feature, even with the fact that the industry is still early in adapting Copilot + PCs. The chief executive also referenced market research data that highlighted shipments from U.S. Snapdragon X.
Notably, Qualcomm is not sharing worldwide shipment numbers for Snapdragon X laptops. And while Amon probably has better numbers for each individual region, the emphasis on the U.S. market shows that it is premium Snapdragon-powered notebooks that are getting the most adoption there. It’s good news for Qualcomm that its Windows-based machines are getting a foot in the door next to rivals running AMD and Intel processors.
Looking ahead, the company plans to disrupt the budget laptop segment with an upcoming 8-core Snapdragon X variant designed for $600 notebooks, set to launch in the coming weeks.
For those interested in purchasing a Windows laptop with Qualcomm’s latest chipsets, there are already some compelling options. The Galaxy Book4 Edge, featuring a Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, is currently available for $782.86. Another option is the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop, which offers the same chipset, RAM, and storage but includes a touchscreen, retailing at $899.99 after a 25% discount.
