Accelerating AI App Development

At this year’s Microsoft Build conference, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows, a compact PC designed specifically to speed up app development for AI PCs. But what makes this little powerhouse stand out?

1. Purpose-Built for AI: Unlike a typical mini PC, this dev kit is tailor-made for on-device AI applications. It runs the Windows on Snapdragon toolchain natively and provides developers with access to Qualcomm’s powerful components.

3. Form Factor: The compact design ensures it’s not just another desktop box. It’s meant for apps running on Snapdragon X AI PCs, which are becoming increasingly popular thanks to Microsoft’s recent Copilot+ PC announcement.

4. Multi-Monitor Compatibility: With multiple ports, this dev kit plays well with multi-monitor systems, allowing developers to create, debug, and test apps seamlessly.
