Despite the incredible failure of Windows RT and the disruption of Windows Phone, Microsoft has always had the ambition to use the Windows OS on ARM-based devices. The Redmond giant has eliminated the previous misfortunes and partnered with ASUS, HP and Lenovo at the Computex exhibition in Taiwan earlier this year to build an ARM-based Windows PC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. The rumors and speculation about these devices were one day round the internet, and the leaked screenshots are known as HP's website (which appears to have deleted the link) and provide more insight into upcoming laptops.
As shown in the screenshot above, HP will release two versions of ARM-based Windows laptops, at least one with a 12-inch display, 4GB RAM and 128GB UFS storage. It will also be a more powerful version that will include 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS storage. The former will have a sticker price of $ 169.99, but the latter will cost $ 199.99. There is no word on ETA yet, but the holiday season is almost up to us. It will not be too hard to think that HP will formulate these devices fairly soon.
ARM-based processors have gone a long way to meeting the ruthless power of the X86 platform, but one of the areas where the RISC platform prevails is power consumption. The chip uses the same CISC architecture as Intel's X86 processor. Thanks to the improved heat treatment and the improved power efficiency of the Snapdragon 835, this Windows PC is lighter and quieter than x86-64 because it has no fans. Microsoft used the Snapdragon 835's X16 Gigabit LTE modem to pack more bits per transfer to 256-QAM using advanced digital signal processing technology and receive data from 4 antennas over 4 x 4 MIMO, PC ". Up to 4x Carrier Aggregation support allows devices to achieve gigabit speeds.
