Seems pretty solid, but really nothing revolutionary. The battery life tests seem a bit pointless with so vastly different laptops, and that would have been one of the most interesting aspect.
There is a big delta between the marketing and hype (that they started almost a year before release) and the actual results.
This was to be expected though, it was clear that they were notably malicious in their PR strategy.
For example, the first geekbench 6 results that they posted were completely disconnected from reality:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/3326083
3,233 ST / 16,947 MT; seems to be running on 100% fans, on the power cord and running some custom, internal build of linux.
Was that result for this SKU or the higher ones? I think there are supposed to be two other versions that clock a bit higher, which will likely reduce battery life though.
But you are right the hype cycle was extremely long and doesn’t really mesh with the middling results.
This a lower end X Elite (their intro series is called X Plus), so yes it doesn’t clock as high as the top end X Elite SKU.
