What an unscripted and spontaneous video!

The ARM Developer Summit event is happening today (10/26) where there will be more talk about the Windows Dev Kit 2023 among lots of other ARM-focused topics and it's free if you'd like to know more and engage with other devs.

This just feeeels like one of those TV Shopping commercials… 😂

[brianwolters]

Ordered mine on Monday...waiting for it to ship. Can't wait!

Question: is the storage upgradable? That's pretty much my only reservation with this 😍!
Also question: Will VScode work the same way VS2022 does on ARM?

[gnul]

Does it have open bootloader and so on, so that I can install Linux bare metal on it, potentially as dual boot?
Can I upgrade the storage (is it e.g. PCIe Y.0 x4 M.2)?
I would consider buying 2 of them if it can run FreeDesktop Linux properly, for my x-platform development.

Are the usb-c ports usb4/thunderbolt so that i can power the device and send display port alt-mode output and establish usb upstream hub connectivity all over a single cable connection to usb4/thunderbolt enabled desktop display? In other words the same as you can do with modern laptops.

Ordered mine today, unfortunately it isn't available in the Netherlands. But the German Microsoft store is kind enough to deliver. And pretty fast since tracking shows it is expected to arrive tomorrow. 😃

I am a student studying computer technology in Japan. I have a question before order one for myself: do I have to return the device like the Apple Silicon Developer Transition Kits, or can I keep it for myself forever?

[jeisuxco]

I want one of these but there are no way to get it from Colombia. Would Microsoft consider putting it on sale on Amazon?

[inamulbhuyan]

Windows on arm with nuvia processor when come

[NibblePibbly]

Ordered mine but the cheese is strong with this video. What an infomercial!!!! :-)

[davidking]

How much power does it use? I am considering it as a replacement for my existing lower power system but I don't see any power usage figures and the 90 watt power supply makes me wonder.

[randrews]

would be interested in the in getting a it but the Web store is broken and or device not working not available on that's a shame unless you have not available in Ireland???

[jorgepedraza]

Does it include Visual Studio 2022 enterprise license?

[mayzin]

I love windows, you really need a good design team for where the ports should place. Still need to learn 'MEANINGFUL USE'. HDMI 3 port should be used instead of min display port. Let's say, you place two USB C ports on both sides rather than on one side, it makes much easier for cord management. Every details matter.

[dechsiri]

I'm in Thailand. How do I purchase it?

[DanCiprianArdelean]

Please add Italy to the countries where you can buy this device

[noorsyyed]

its just wow! Microsoft should start their store and selling products in India much like Apple

[AJT]

Great video but I would've like to see them talk about it like a presentation. This feels kinda cringe
