Xiaomi works on a laptop with a Snapdragon 845 processor and Windows 10 operating system

Xiaomi would be working on a laptop that makes use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with Windows 10 operating system, although there is no more data.

Some time ago Microsoft, which leads the operating systems market, and Qualcomm, which dominates the mobile processor market, joined in a strategic alliance to port the Windows 10 operating system to devices that use ARM processors, such as Snapdragon. The strategy has been effective, since many manufacturers have opted for Qualcomm processors or based on the ARM architecture to launch devices under Windows 10. The last to launch a product of this type is Xiaomi, who is working on it. Xiaomi Mi Notebook laptop that was based on the Snapdragon 845.

ASUS and HP, two leading companies in the world of laptops, were the first brands to launch a Snapdragon with Windows on the market, mainly because Qualcomm processors are characterized by low power consumption, which lengthens the useful life of the laptop. battery, contrary to what happens with Intel processors, which although efficient, have higher consumption. Long battery life has been promised for a long time, even up to 20 hours of autonomy was promised with continued use with ARM configurators and Windows 10, but for now it is utopia.

Xiaomi would be developing its own solution, although it is true that it is not known whether it will be a conventional laptop or rather a 2 in 1. Qualcomm has been working with all or the vast majority of hardware manufacturers on the market for a long time, with the intention to launch 'always connected' devices, which give users long battery life. Nothing else is known about the solution that Xiaomi would be developing, but the company does not want to be left alone with the smartphone and tablet market, it wants to expand its range of products and cover more market segments.
