Qualcomm cancels Windows dev kit PC for “comprehensively” failing to meet standards - Snapdragon Dev Kit was supposed to ship in June but was repeatedly delayed.

Snapdragon Dev Kit was supposed to ship in June but was repeatedly delayed.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus are at the heart of dozens of Copilot+ Windows PCs, which promise unique AI features and good battery life without as many of the app and hardware compatibility problems that have plagued Windows-on-Arm in the past. The sudden cancellation caps a rocky rollout for the Snapdragon Dev Kit, which was supposed to begin shipping on June 18 but was subject to repeated delays, according to posts from Geerling and others who placed orders. Qualcomm sent a message informing users that the dev kit's built-in HDMI port was being replaced with a USB-C-to-HDMI dongle, and was handing out 10 percent discounts to customers to apologize for the change.
