You think thats bad. But I have worked for over 50 hospitals by now and almost half of them have qualcomms. They are about worthless they were suppose to be used to communicate with dispatch/911 more effictively it works great for like a month then it just falls apart.
Qualcomm is a company that makes a lot of different products. This post is about PCs, but Qualcomm doesn’t make PCs as far as I know, so you might need to be more specific.
Almost half of over 50 hospitals already have these new devices? I highly doubt that. Are you referring to one of the really bad old windows on arm devices, or like an android tablet or something?
Some of them aren’t super age-old, but their processors are in an entirely different class, not competitive with these new devices or any of their x86 contemporaries. I really wanted to get one but could never justify them given the performance was so abysmal.
The 8cx Gen 3 was only released like one or two years ago, and is fast enough for day to day use. Sure the new ones are a fair bit faster, but the old ones were more than fast enough for web browsing, light programming, and running emulators. Heck they are also fast enough for server use if you need a power efficient cheap home server. They did make a couple desktop versions after all.
We have one at work for testing purposes. I agree it’s fine, but it’s competing with low end x86 devices performance-wise. I really wanted them to be better because I wanted to use one for my daily work, but it just wasn’t enough at the time. These new snapdragon elite processors seem like they could make that a reality though, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a snapdragon x elite laptop based on my prior bad experiences.

Windows for ARM devices before this generation aren’t even that old.
