Windows Arm PCs could be SO much better
What's going on with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite 'Mac mini killer' Dev Kit?
I take a look at the current Windows on Arm landscape, and discuss what I think Microsoft and Qualcomm should do to make Snapdragon X truly 'Elite' among Arm platforms.

"Paid promotion" disclaimer: I was not paid anything to make this video, but some of the equipment I show in the video (namely, the ADLINK workstation and Ampere Altra Max CPU) were provided over a year ago with no obligations attached. I still like to disclose when I show any equipment I didn't personally pay for, because that lets you, the viewer, adjust for any potential bias that may come through.
