Microsoft and Qualcomm Team Up To Create a Windows on ARM Developer PC

Tuesday May 25, 2021. 07:21 PM , from Slashdot
Microsoft has teamed up with Qualcomm to create a Windows on ARM-based dev kit for developers. From a report: The miniature PC will be sold at the Microsoft Store this summer, and is designed to be more affordable to encourage developers to create ARM64 apps for Snapdragon-based PCs. Until now, developers have had to purchase devices like the Surface Pro X to fully test their ARM64 apps on Windows. That's a costly exercise for developers, particularly when the Surface Pro X retails from $999 and up. While Microsoft and Qualcomm haven't put a price on this new dev kit, there are promises it will be more affordable than what developers can buy today. 'This developer kit provides an affordable alternative to other consumer and commercial devices,' says Miguel Nunes, senior director of product management at Qualcomm. 'With the smaller desktop configuration, this kit gives developers more flexibility than notebook options, and at a lower price point.'
