Microsoft teamed with Qualcomm to announce a new Snapdragon Developer Kit for Windows 10 on ARM at the 2021 Build conference, as you may recall.
The businesses marketed it as a cost-effective solution for developers, with the goal of providing a simple method for app developers to test ARM-based apps on a Windows tablet.
This is a fantastic price, since many people would have paid well over $1,000 for a specialized ARM-based tablet or laptop, such as the Surface Pro X.
So, without further ado, know that the device is now officially available and can be purchased for $219 on the Microsoft Store.

This device comes with Windows 10 Home preloaded, however it is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11.
If you’re looking for a design comparison, the kit resembles Apple’s Mac Mini. It weighs around half a pound, has no fans, and seems to be quite portable.
