WW 547: Windows on ARM




Windows Weekly (Video LO) show

Summary: <p>Paul is live in Maui for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Tech Summit, and we have a special guest... <br> <br>Windows 10 on ARM officially arrives. The first ARM-based Always Connected PCs won't really arrive until early 2018. PT: This is the future of the platform. What's the value proposition for the platform? <br> <br>These first Always Connected PCs will run Windows 10 S, but be upgradable for free for a set period (Sept. 2018?) to Windows 10 Pro. Price for the Asus: $599 to $799 (plus a mobile carrier subscription). So what about Intel? They power some 'Always Connected' PCs, too, and they won't talk about their patent threat. <br> <br>Questions: Days vs. weeks of battery life? Performance? What about the Snapdragon 845? Where are all the PC makers (and is this a Windows 10 S thing, limiting its future)? <br> <br>And how about that Snapdragon 845? A few details from today about the 845, coming to phones in early 2018. A reminder why PC makers sometimes use older chips in newer models. <br> <br>Windows: No new builds of Redstone 4 until Friday at the earliest. Windows 10 collaborative whiteboard app is going public preview. Windows Update problems hit Windows 7 users (now fixed). </p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/leo-laporte">Leo Laporte</a>, <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mary-jo-foley">Mary Jo Foley</a>, and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/paul-thurrott">Paul Thurrott</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly</a></p> <p>Check out Paul's blog at <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/" target="_blank">thurrott.com</a></p> <p>Check out Mary Jo's blog at <a href="http://allaboutmicrosoft.com/" target="_blank">AllAboutMicrosoft.com</a></p> <p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.cachefly.com/" target="_blank">CacheFly</a> for the bandwidth for this show.</p> <p>The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/carlfranklin" target="_blank">Carl Franklin</a>.</p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="http://sonic.com/twit">sonic.com/twit</a></li> <li><a href="http://WordPress.com/windows">WordPress.com/windows</a></li> <li><a href="http://RocketMortgage.com/Windows">RocketMortgage.com/Windows</a></li> </ul>
