Whether you call them by their marketing moniker, "always-on computers," or their more technical description of "Windows on Arm," Qualcomm wants its processor to beat as its heart. The first generation of laptops built on its Snapdragon 835 -- the Asus NovaGo and the Lenovo Miix 630, for example  -- had a pretty faint pulse. Now the company is hoping to change that image with the Snapdragon 850, essentially the same processor as the 845 that's in flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9 series, OnePlus 6 and LG G7 ThinQ, but with a slightly faster clock speed.

The new platform was announced at Computex 2018, and Qualcomm says that devices based on it should ship in time for your holiday purchasing pleasure.
