Well, users seem to be happy with their Snapdragon-equipped
machines regardless of what the press says. I'm getting the
feeling that this is overblown, designed to make Microsoft look
bad in Apple's favour.

 
If that were true, we should be seeing new models entering the market.
Isn’t it getting on to about nine months since the last flurry of model
introductions?

 
Considering how there is not yet a successor to the Snapdragon X Elite
available, I don't see why they would feel the need to produce new
models. Let the company release a new processor, and the manufacturers
will follow with computers based on it. As it is, Snapdragon is playing
catch-up to Apple's ARM chips.

Didn’t Qualcomm promise to have cheaper chips for Windows-on-ARM about
now?

And why is everybody waiting for Qualcomm, anyway? Isn’t one of the key
benefits of ARM the fact that it is available from multiple sources?

But not for Windows, it seems.
