HP OmniBook X 14 (Snapdragon X Elite)
Exceptional Windows-on-Arm battery, about 16 real hours, and a light clean build. On Linux it is a non-starter today: this HP chassis has thin enablement next to the ThinkPad T14s X Elite. If Linux is the point, buy AMD instead.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high

ubuntu-lts: Snapdragon X Elite (ARM64). Mainline Linux on the X Elite laptop platform is early and device-specific: the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and Dell XPS 13 9345 have the most upstream device-tree work, this HP OmniBook X has far less. Expect to build a recent kernel with a Qualcomm DT, and even then Wi-Fi, audio, the Adreno GPU and suspend are partial at best on this exact chassis. No Adreno open driver suitable for general desktop use on this SoC revision. Treat it as a Windows-on-Arm machine that someone might get a console Linux onto, not a Linux laptop. Enablement moves, so check the live status before assuming anything changed. linux-msm: Snapdragon X Elite enablement status →
