Mission Accomplished

• As a reminder, Paul finally got the Yoga Slim 7x last week and updated on app compatibility, hardware compatibility, gaming, and in-box AI experiences in time for WW - only found one non-working app, Google Drive. Then...
• More app and game compatibility testing. Since then, played a lot more DOOM (2016), ran into one issue that's surely WOA-related (note beta graphics driver, though)
• Video encoding performance: Snapdragon X vs Snapdragon X vs Core Ultra 9 H-series vs MacBook Air M3
• Initial thoughts on battery life and then More thoughts on battery life. The Yoga Slim 9x and Surface Laptop both get about 10 hours of real-world battery life (so far), compared to 15 hours for the MacBook Air 15-inch M3.
• Hardware compatibility update: Only one of my devices doesn't work, the Focusrite.
• Surface Laptop 7 first impressions and second impressions
• HP Elitebook Ultra first impressions

Windows 11

• As of July's Patch Tuesday, 22H2, 23H2, and 24H2 will all provide the same basic feature set
• Canary, Dev, Beta (last Friday): nothing exciting, a few small features or changes
