Inspiron 14 laptop with Snapdragon the new wave of Windows on ARM computers.

When Qualcomm announced (following the path set by Apple Silicon), its Snapdragon Samsung or Acer) will use their new chips in equipment that will be launched in the summer of 2024.

Although there has been no official announcement yet, which may be reserved for Computex 2024, unofficial information has arrived about some of these models, such as the Lenovo Yoga or Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 Edge. ASUS has already announced a specific event, and we expect the presentations of the rest to pile up from June. The common denominator will be the new Qualcomm processors for PCs, the new attempt with Microsoft to put the Windows platform on ARM, so far a complete fiasco.

Inspiron 14 with Snapdragon

Dell’s laptop is part of its consumer lineup, and as you’ll see in the leaked images that accompany this article, it looks lighter and thinner than ever. It will include Snapdragon, a high-end platform and one of the most powerful with 16 cores. It would be accompanied by 16GB of RAM, which we don’t know will be enough to move the language models and AI features that all these devices promise to support.

Although the general design of this laptop is similar to the current model s 14 inch screen and the Intel processor makes the chassis of the new model look more elegant and significantly thinner. The rounded edges will help the grip during transport, while in the external ports we see two USB-C, USB-A and a slot for a microSD card. On the backlit keyboard, you can see the new addition of the Copilot key, a quick access to the Microsoft assistant that this type of Windows AI equipment will include.

Definitely, It’s not a computer for gaming or creative work., but should work well for mobile productivity and the commercial sector. This is evidenced by the set of front-facing cameras, which will certainly be well prepared for video conferencing and security tasks provided by Windows Hello. It will have a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button.

We also know that it will support the latest connectivity standards, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, as well as the option 5G broadband. Autonomy must be high, as it is one of the big advantages of ARM. Microsoft’s ability to create a viable Windows system to run on ARM and run ecosystem applications remains unresolved. It remains pending… Teams won’t be able to because quite a few manufacturers will sign up for this new wave.
