    As of right now, there’s not much available for the X Elite processors.

    I did actually buy the Yoga laptop with the X Elite from Lenovo about a month ago. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a better experience with Windows. I can leave the thing in standby mode for days and see maybe 4 or 5 percent battery drain. If I’m using ARM native apps, I can use it for 8 hours without charging easily and get through a work day with about 20 to 30 percent battery to spare. With x86 apps, it does use a bit more power, but battery life is still pretty good. I’d estimate 8-9 hours before totally dead.

    Hopefully development picks up more on the Linux side because I can’t wait to see how much better the battery life would be.















  • Living in the Midwest, I’ve never really dealt with a major power outage we didn’t expect. Power company will send out a (very rare) notice if they are doing anything that might bring down power and usually if a thunderstorm starts to get rough, we shut down anything important so power flicker/surges don’t hurt it.
