Snapdragon is already canceled so I guess, they just don't care about this device. It's Microsoft on ARM. Sad to say, but don't expect full support or quality update on this.

The Snapdragon Dev Kit is canceled. Snapdragon as a whole sure as hell isn't canceled, and Windows on Snapdragon isn't, either. There's loads of Windows laptops using Snapdragon with more continuing to release.

No, the dev kit was cancelled.

There are ARM laptops out there from multiple manufacturers, and there is a SnapDragon 2 on the horizon.

It's just the "dev kit". Snapdragon for the laptop form factor is alive and well. You don't need a devkit for a laptop running Windows and QCOM easily figured that out.

you mean like the new generation they just announced? https://www.qualcomm.com/laptops/products/snapdragon-x2-elit...

I wanted to order one of these and then Qualcomm cancelled it.

Then I knew Windows ARM probably wasn't going to make it. Why any technical person would want a PC( not including Macs)that explicitly can't run Linux I'll never know.
