You can get the laptop, and there won't be any big issues that you can't handle.
And ignore people with big brains, spitting facts but of no use.

Given that a laptop is a major investment that you'll likely use daily for years, it's unwise to dismiss expert opinions. What you call "facts of no use" might actually be crucial information about performance, longevity, and value. Those "big brain" insights often reveal important details about compatibility, upgradability, or long-term reliability that aren't immediately apparent but become significant over time.
Considering the financial commitment and daily reliance on a laptop, it's prudent to weigh all available information before making a decision.

yeah i am using a 4 year old one which go on for another 4 year without any issue. people who seek battery life either they don't understand computing or computer in first place, if you need a device like mobile, what device will you ditch first? neither. so duck it and either get a 12th gen intel or normal amd "laptops" or go for ishits with no possible greater outcomes. battery lifes, oh man seriously, do you carry battery chargers, you can carry cable tooo.. crying richbabies for attentionsGiven that a laptop is a major investment that you'll likely use daily for years, it's unwise to dismiss expert opinions.

Ever tried typing in a long article on that thing?
I have and trust me, it's not fun.

No offense intended.
I usually avoid getting into debates and tend to skip opinions that are presented as expert advice without substantial backing. The internet is full of self-proclaimed experts, and it’s easy to get misled.
In today’s world, laptops are not the major investment they once were, especially for those whose work depends on them or who spend a lot of time using them. Many people replace similarly expensive smartphones every year without hesitation.
If you look at the post by @sadhunath that I quoted, you'll see that Snapdragon laptops are a clear choice for his specific needs. Given his requirements, these laptops are the most suitable option.
As for compatibility, I didn’t say anyone was wrong. However, for the average user, compatibility issues with specialized tools are rare. Those who need such tools usually know about these potential issues. Importantly, Microsoft’s commitment to Snapdragon laptops means compatibility and stability will continue to improve.
Sometimes, having too much information can be more confusing than helpful, even if it's shared with good intentions.
Peace out.

Laptops are still a major investment as they once were, and they always would be. While it's true that many people replace smartphones frequently, it's important to recognize that laptops serve a fundamentally different purpose. They are often essential tools for productivity, education, and creative work, with a lifespan and utility that typically extend far beyond that of a smartphone. A well-maintained laptop can last for several years, making it a significant long-term investment. The comparison between the two isn't quite fair, as the value and return on investment from a good laptop often far exceed the annual upgrades of a smartphone.
Do you know when the first ARM-based Windows laptop was released? 12 years ago! How many yearly releases of ARM-based Windows laptops do you see every year? And what's their market share? Find out.
While it's true that compatibility has improved for ARM-based Windows systems in the recent years, there are still significant challenges that affect both average users and professionals:
1. Software compatibility: Many applications, especially legacy software and specialized tools, are not optimized for ARM architecture. Sure, most popular apps are compatible with ARM-64 now, and he can use his favourite word processing software without issues, but what if he wants to use an application but finds it incompatible with it? Even many popular VPN apps still have compatibility issues with the ARM-64 architecture on Windows, and this even includes NordVPN. Even Chrome added native ARM support for Windows this year.
2. Driver issues: Printer and peripheral compatibility still remains a major problem. Many hardware manufacturers have been slow to develop ARM-64 drivers, leading to functionality issues or complete incompatibility. In fact, printing has always been a major issue with them, as ARM printer drivers are exceptionally rare.
3. Developer reluctance: Despite Microsoft's efforts, many developers are hesitant to invest resources in porting their applications to ARM. This reluctance creates a chicken-and-egg problem, slowing widespread adoption.
4. Performance overhead: While Windows can run x86 applications through emulation, this often results in reduced performance and increased battery consumption, negating some of the benefits of ARM processors.
5. Gaming limitations: Many popular games, particularly developed in the last decade still have compatibility issues with ARM-64 systems. For instance, GTA V, which still gets minor bug-fix updates from Rockstar, but have never added support for ARM-64 architecture.
6. Virtual machine challenges: Running x86-based virtual machines on ARM Windows is either impossible or comes with significant performance penalties.
This "commitment" means nothing unless more developers make their apps compatible with the ARM-64 architecture. And there's only one way to achieve that: to release more laptops with affordable prices to increase the market adoption.
X86 is a stable platform on which Microsoft and third-party developers have contributed for over three decades to make it a more "mature" environment. While I'm not denying the fact that ARM-64 is a bad architecture—it is in fact a promising architecture and its future is promising as well, but it's not the right fit for you if the above points I mentioned sound bothersome to you.
My point is, you should take every opinion and decide what's good for you. If any of it doesn't concern you, go ahead and buy it. I have told whatever one needs to know before making an informed decision. And stop demeaning people unless you have valid arguments. Peace out.

As I said, again, too much information.
I do not think this is the right platform to debate this.
If it satisfies you, I acknowledge that you are right.

There isn't a single *right platform* for this discussion, nor was it a debate. I provided all the necessary information a buyer needs before making a decision. It's also not too much information.
Bhai, tune toh dil pe le liya. Chill maar yaar.
Looks like a debate to me.
Once again, why should a general user need to know this? Is it truly that important?
Bhai, tune toh dil pe le liya. Chill maar yaar.
You assumed the user's behavior and concluded that they wouldn't have a decent experience. However, experiences can vary greatly from one user to another.
Suggestions should be given like this: Snapdragon-powered laptops offer great battery life, but you might face compatibility issues. Make sure to check if all the applications you use are compatible. Present both pros and cons when giving suggestions. Avoid making judgments—present the facts and let the user decide what works best for them.
I hope you understand why I said this. If even now you are not able to comprehend it, it's not your fault but mine.
Btw I am also looking to buy a new laptop and searching for something good for ~2L.

Poora message padh le. Usi mein iska answer hai.
I didn't assume and conclude anything. Read my whole post again.

Bhai, baat ka batangarh mat banaya kar. Padhne wala koi chhota bachcha nahi hai. Woh sab samajh jayega, aur jo nahi samajh payega, woh khud research kar lega ya poochega.

GGs, your efforts paid off.
