The first laptops with SoC Snapdragon 845 and Windows 10 will wait until the second half of 2018

A few days ago the news broke at the Qualcomm Summit when the well-known manufacturer of processors announced the arrival on the market soon of the first portable computers that would mark the beginning of the journey of ARM processors with Microsoft operating system

The first two to arrive will be a laptop and a convertible Specifically, they are the Asus NovaGo and the HP ENVY X2, two releases that will arrive in spring with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile PC processor, a model specially developed for this purpose.But where does the Snapdragon 845 fit into this equation?

The most powerful processor from the American manufacturer will arrive in the first part of 2018 in the top-of-the-range _smartphones of the main brands. It is a common movement every year that this processor is in charge of moving the heart of the main terminals on the market. Does that mean it will also work on Windows 10 computers?

Yes and no. And it is that to know the first products that in the form of laptops or convertibles arrive with the Snapdragon 845 we will have to wait until the second half of 2018 And it is that for the launch all the tests have been carried out under the Snapdragon 835, something that means that if you want to use the Snapdragon 845 you must first go through a development process.

Also, it would not make sense to launch a model in early 2018 with the adapted Snapdragon 835 for two or three months later to do so with an improved processor. It would be like shooting yourself in the foot by hindering sales of the inferior model.

We will therefore have to wait until the end of the first quarter of 2018 to see the first devices with Windows 10 using the Snapdragon 845 and while we have no choice but to wait for the Asus NovaGo to hit the market and the HP ENVY X2 to begin to assess the operation of the Qualcomm and Windows 10 pairing in terms of performance and efficiency
