Despite these computers using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor, commonly found in mobile devices, it doesn't encompass the full set of features, as the chipset has been specifically optimized for computers.
Windows 10 ARM Lacks Faster Wireless Charging Support
According to Neowin, one of the missing features on computers using the Snapdragon 835 chip is the absence of the 802.11ad Wifi standard. This is because the integrated Wifi + WCN3990 chip provides 2x2 802.11ac with a peak Mu-MIMO speed of 867 Mbps.
Furthermore, Windows 10 ARM lacks support for faster wireless charging, a somewhat meaningful change for laptops. In essence, Windows 10 ARM will be beneficial with compatible hardware and regular charging since Qualcomm has removed the Quick Charge 4 feature from the chipset.
NFC Support Concealed
An interesting point is that NFC support is also missing from the official technical specifications. However, Qualcomm states that this feature is available, with the caveat that users may not find it in the official documentation.
On the other hand, the Snapdragon 835 chipset, available on 'Always Connected Devices' that seamlessly connect devices, supports Bluetooth 5 with a maximum speed of 2 Mbps. It also integrates 6 different satellite systems for precise location services, specifically GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS.

The remaining technical specifications closely resemble those found in mobile devices, with the X16 model capable of achieving a download speed of 1Gbps, the Kyro 280 CPU running at 2.45 GHz, and the Adreno 540 GPU.
Furthermore, the chipset is optimized to extend the device's battery life. Microsoft claims that devices running Windows 10, powered by Snapdragon 835, only need to be charged once a week for continuous usage. However, this depends on various factors, including the software running on the computer.
