Qualcomm has canceled its upcoming Windows Mini PC, the Snapdragon Dev Kit, in what could be a blow to some Arm developers. The $899 Mini PC wasn't intended for general use, but to help developers develop Windows applications that were natively compatible with chips manufactured by semiconductor giant Arm.

If you want a basic mini-PC for a POS machine or running accounting software, the Acer Veriton E220 should fit the bill nicely. For under Rs. 25,000, you get Windows 11 Home, an Intel quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. There's built-in Wi-Fi and you get a decent set of ports like Ethernet, HDMI, and four USB 3.0 (Type-A).

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Elite chips have been the star of many AI PCs released to market in 2024, greatly enhancing performance and battery life compared to their previous gen iterations. However, the manufacturer’s recent endeavor to improve on one of its negative points hasn’t panned out.
