Dell leak details next-gen Windows on Arm chips

Oh Dell, Windows and Qualcomm. I’d rather cut my hands off and shove the bloody stumps in a bag of salt. Have had nothing but trouble with all of them over the years.

Modem standby 0.3W?? I don&#x27;t think CPU change alone will make these devices super-efficient.<p>And why is web browsing such a battery sink? Are they using an old version of edge? Is it full of random extensions??<p>By the way, 15 minutes into a thread about CPUs and discussion has not yet been hijacked by the fans of &quot;that other company&quot;. Maybe HN is improving?

Most probably this will be Microsoft&#x27;s response to Chromebooks in the classroom. Same concept but integrated with Microsoft Office, Outlook and whatever, something many schools are using on their Chromebooks already.<p>The entire shtick of Windows is it&#x27;s userbase and app library on x86. Porting your app to Android tablets makes more sense than porting to Windows on ARM, and developing a PWA web app makes more sense than that. Power-user apps (including games) will definitely stay on Windows x86 for now, with Linux x86 being it&#x27;s primary alternative.<p>This product will likely be for users who just use a web browser and want integration with Microsoft services with that, so mainly the educational field.

If it can&#x27;t run Linux or the *BSDs, it&#x27;s a closed device no different than a cell phone.

I pray for a Linux on a Dell XPS 13 with the battery duration of a MacBook Air 13&#x2F;14&quot; (and solid, without a fan). I Don&#x27;t care too much about the raw power but something that doesn&#x27;t feel slow.

We really are doing this &quot;AI PC&quot; thing I guess?<p>I was really hoping we would just... not. Not looking forward to those ads being all over showing gimmick that most probably don&#x27;t want. Hopefully we don&#x27;t start seeing &quot;AI PC Ready&quot; parts for custom builds.<p>Hopefully the LTSC version of Windows 11 doesn&#x27;t have any of this crap in it.<p>Also great, so the hardware will be fine. Still not convinced Microsoft can pull off ARM in any meaningful way compared to Apple. I highly doubt the entire PC market will switch over anytime soon unlike Mac.

Dell will put almost anything but Ryzens in their laptops.

&gt;Dell is planning to refresh its XPS 13 Plus from 2022, with a touch bar on the top row of the keyboard and only two USB-C ports for I&#x2F;O.<p>If I wanted a Macbook I would get a Macbook instead of some frankenstein knockoff that can&#x27;t run neither Win32 nor Mac.
