News summary

Google has announced plans to release an Arm64 version of its Google Drive application for Windows later this year, addressing the absence of the app on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs. This commitment comes after efforts from Microsoft and Qualcomm to persuade developers to support Windows on Arm architecture, as many applications have historically been designed for x86 processors, leading to compatibility issues. The upcoming Google Drive update will enable full functionality on Arm-based devices, with a release expected in Q4 2024. Additionally, VPN applications from NordVPN and ExpressVPN will be available immediately on Snapdragon laptops, filling another software gap. Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Plus chip aims to make Windows on Arm laptops more affordable, with devices starting at $899 and potentially dropping to $700 by 2025. The company is also considering the use of Snapdragon chips in desktop PCs, with more details anticipated at an upcoming summit.
