Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 to Support Windows 10

All I can say is hmm, we'll see (see a reply I wrote on another thread resulting from my experiences in trying to get even laptop, much less desktop performance on ARM).

I would love to be wrong. I simply don't believe it's here yet.

In addition I don't know if people really want the continuum experience rather than carrying their screen around with them. It's been tried before, but maybe those previous attempts failed due to wimpy processors.

Things like the Moto Atrix, the best example of this, failed for a few reasons. Processor power is definitely part of it, and we've come a long way there. But the other one is apps. Android apps suck on tablets, and they suck on desktops. But if you can run desktop apps off your phone, we might get somewhere.

The full version of MS Office ran perfectly well on the ARM based Windows RT Surface and Surface 2 tablets and that was several years ago.
