ARM laptops with Windows 10 will appear at the end of the year

In December, Microsoft demonstrated a version of Windows 10 for ARM with support for desktop apps than at the time could not boast Windows RT. We have to wait until the first computers on Snapdragon 835 (and this is the only compatible CPU) will go on sale. However, in an early announcement to not count. At a meeting with investors, the head of Qualcomm Steve Mollenkopf said that the new devices will take place only in the fourth quarter of this year.

Work is already underway

Microsoft has not yet announced the list of partners, but insiders report that laboratories have already tested the Lenovo computer with ARM processor and Windows 10 on Board. Experts believe that the Snapdragon 835 will free up extra space inside the case, the resulting device will be thinner or will be able to work for longer with more powerful battery. In addition, a mobile platform includes a Gigabit LTE modem, Bluetooth 5.0, which works four times faster Bluetooth 4.2, and dual-band Wi-Fi adapter (optional up to 802.11 ad).

Likely to learn more about ARM laptops Microsoft representatives will speak at the upcoming conference for developers of Build or during the exhibition Computex 2017, which will take place from 30 may to 3 June. On the presentation of the new “cloud” Cloud OS Windows 10 we are unlikely to see, but the company may show Surface CloudBookfocused on education.
