Currently, Windows 10 on ARM PCs are rather thin on the ground in Europe, with only the now dated Snapdragon 835-powered ASUS NovaGo really available.

Now WinFuture.de reports that this is set to change in the second half of the year and into the new year.

This is according to Don McGuire , Vice President of Global Product Marketing for Qualcomm, who said the Snapdragon 850-powered Lenovo Yoga C630 will soon be available in Europe, and also possibly a Huawei device, if the trade war allows.

Thanks for the Q. The Lenovo will begin selling in Europe shortly. The Huawei device may also begin to sell in EU depending on the Geo-political situation. All 8CX designs are scheduled to sell in EU. There will be at least 4. ?

Those devices will offer performance comparable to an Intel Core i5 processor while still offering advantages like 20 hr battery life and Always Connected computing.
