Does the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x Gen 10 (15 Snapdragon, 2025) work with Linux?

Not cleanly: there are significant gaps, so we don't recommend it for Linux as-is. This is an entry Snapdragon X (non-Elite, X1-26-100) part on the same work-in-progress arm64 platform as the X Elite laptops: built-in speakers and webcam are not yet supported and device firmware has to be extracted from the Windows partition first.

What does the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x Gen 10 (15 Snapdragon, 2025) cost?

RRP is about 749 USD; street price is often lower.

How heavy is the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x Gen 10 (15 Snapdragon, 2025)?

1.55 kg (3.42 lb). That's light for daily carry.

What's the battery life like?

A 60 Wh pack, around 16 hours real-world mixed use. We score battery 9/10.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

RAM is soldered, so the 16 GB it ships with is the RAM it dies with. Storage starts at 256 GB on this configuration.

Price: 749 USD

15 Snapdragon, 2025

One of the cheapest Snapdragon X laptops with around 16 real hours of battery, but the 1080p 60Hz IPS panel is plain and on Linux it is the same work-in-progress arm64 story with no speakers or webcam.
