Thinkpad T14S G6 Snapdragon - First Impressions (12hr real world battery life)

So I have now had a Thinkpad T14S Gen6 with The Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME SSD and the 1920x1200 60Hz Low Power display for almost 2 days.

I have so far encountered ZERO issues installing and using all the usual apps, as well as some work specific ones which no-ones heard of. The X86/64 'translation' layer works flawlessly on Windows 11 for ARM it seems. Well... ALMOST.... Some apps which usually add an entry into the explorer right click context menu now do not, presumably because they haven't implemented an ARM compatible shell extension.

Performance is excellent, snappy in Outlook/office/teams/chrome, various music & media players, other apps etc.... I don't edit 4k video for a living so couldn't comment on how it fairs at that.... But why would you buy a machine like this for heavy lifting anyway?

My real reason for buying one was for the size/weight and its rated battery life. Now as I sit here typing this, I have been screen on for the majority of the day since 7AM (UK), its now just gone 5PM. I have passed 10 hours and have 16% remaining. Power plan set to balanced and the display at 70%. I have been syncing onedrive/dropbox, using teams/outlook/whatsapp, downloading programs, browsing web in chrome, listening to music and installing some work related software in that time.

Safe to say I am VERY impressed. I am not sure what these 'reviewers' actually do in their testing where they measure 20+ hours. I am guessing nothing, and have the display at 20% or something. However it looks like I am going to be seeing 12 hours of real world use from a charge, especially after my 'syncing/set up' finishes.

Just thought i'd share!
