Does this run x86 based programs? null

The Snapdragon X Plus processor runs on ARM architecture, which natively supports ARM-based applications. However, it can also run x86-based programs through emulation.

Yes, it should. Even though this is an ARM processor, and to take advantage of the amazing speed and new features you’ll need programs specifically designed for it, older x86 programs should be able to run on it seamlessly thanks to a built in emulator. I tried a few older programs with no issues.

Sorta, but not recommended. Since it is ARM based (unlike Intel and AMD laptops) it has to emulate every x86 application and game. Because of this, many x86 applications dont run at all, or they crash or they have bugs. I would NOT recommend this laptop in its current state because the emulation of x86 is really bad.
