A couple of weeks ago we published a full breakdown of Windows on ARM performance, looking at how the Snapdragon 835 SoC fares when running native UWP applications from the Windows Store, and standard x86 programs via emulation.

Today we’ll looking more closely at the first Snapdragon 835 device running Windows: the HP Envy x2. Having now used this tablet for a few weeks, there’s a lot of things HP did well to make this a hardware experience to rival the Microsoft Surface. And then on the other hand, they were probably a bit let down by the performance of x86 emulation on ARM processors.
