We're still waiting for Arm chips to make their way into cheaper PCs. (credit: Andrew Cunningham)</p> </figure> <div><a name="page-1"></a></div> <p>For the first time in the decade-plus that Microsoft has been trying to make Arm-powered Windows PCs happen, we’ve finally got some pretty good ones. The <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/surface-pro-11-and-laptop-7-review-an-apple-silicon-moment-for-windows/">latest Surface Pro and Surface Laptop</a> (and the other Copilot+ PCs) benefit from extensive work done to Windows 11’s x86 translation layer, a wider selection of native apps, and most importantly, Snapdragon X Pro and X Elite chips from Qualcomm that are as good as or better than Intel’s or AMD’s current offerings.</p> <p>The main problem with these computers is that they’re all on the expensive side. The cheapest Snapdragon X PC right now is <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/snapdragon-dev-kit-for-windows-is-a-next-gen-mini-desktop-with-snapdragon-x-elite/"><span class="s1">probably this $899 developer kit mini-desktop</span></a>; the cheapest laptops start around the same $1,000 price as the entry-level MacBook Air.</p> <p>That’s a problem Qualcomm hopes to correct next year. Qualcomm CEO Christiano Amon said on the <a href="https://investor.qualcomm.com/">company’s Q3 earnings call</a> (as <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=100098X1555750&amp;isjs=1&amp;jv=15.7.1&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Farstechnica.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D2040479%26action%3Dedit&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2024%2F7%2F31%2F24210783%2Fqualcomm-promises-snapdragon-x-pcs-will-cost-as-little-as-700-next-year&amp;xs=1&amp;xtz=240&amp;xuuid=dac7d444445830f14f94a38207c1fcb4&amp;xjsf=other_click__contextmenu%20%5B2%5D">recorded by The Verge</a>) that the company was hoping to bring Arm PC prices down to $700 at some point in 2025, noting that these cheaper PCs wouldn’t compromise the performance of the Snapdragon X series’ built-in neural processing unit (NPU).</p></div><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/?p=2040479#p3">Read 6 remaining paragraphs</a> | <a href="https://arstechnica.com/?p=2040479&comments=1">Comments</a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/qualcomm-promises-700-arm-powered-pcs-are-coming-sometime-in-2025/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>57</slash:comments> </item>
