Microsoft's revamped Edge browser now runs on ARM-based Windows PCs
The default web browsing experience on ARM-based Windows PCs just took a big step forward. Microsoft has released its first version of its Chromium-based Edge browser for ARM-based Windows 10 systems, giving them all the compatibility and feature improvements without the performance hit that comes from emulating the x86 edition. Suffice it to say this could be very helpful if you're running a Snapdragon-powered computer like the Surface Pro X and want a relatively lean but capable browser.

That's why a group of automotive and tech businesses have joined forces to create the Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium (AVCC), in a bid to create a platform that will promote the scalable deployment of automated and autonomous vehicles.
Surface Pro X hands-on: Microsoft tries Windows on ARM again
Microsoft is officially giving Windows on ARM-based processors another go, after its previous efforts (ahem, Windows RT) failed years ago. It's not like we haven't seen PCs using ARM chips recently. Qualcomm's been leading the charge with the Windows on Snapdragon movement producing laptops and hybrids powered by its Snapdragon processors. But with the Surface Pro X announced today, Microsoft is taking ownership of the second stab at an ARM-based PC. Although, it might be more accurate to call this attempt number 2.5.
