Qualcomm cancels its miniature Windows on Arm PC

Qualcomm has been struggling to ship the mini PC for months now, after originally planning to release it in June alongside the chips that powered the first wave of Copilot Plus PCs. The conclusion of the review was that while this mini PC had similar performance to Apple’s M3 Pro, the hardware was a missed opportunity thanks to a lack of Linux support and weird restrictions on being able to resell the device. Richard Campbell, founder of the DEVIntersection set of conferences, speculated on a recent TWiT episode that the HDMI port may have caused production delays if it failed FCC compliance testing.
