Google is creating an Arm64 version of its Drive app for Windows on Arm. NordVPN and ExpressVPN are also launching apps for Qualcomm laptops.
Google has committed to releasing an Arm64 version of Google Drive on Windows later this year, after Microsoft and Qualcomm have been working hard to convince app developers to port their applications over to Windows on Arm. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon made the announcement onstage at the company’s IFA event earlier today, where he also revealed that both NordVPN and ExpressVPN will be available on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon laptops today.
Google also previously created an Arm64 version of Chrome for Windows in time for the Copilot Plus launch in June. It has been just over two months since the latest Qualcomm-powered laptops launched, and Qualcomm is now launching a new eight-core Snapdragon X Plus chip that’s designed to make Windows on Arm laptops cheaper. The Asus Vivobook S 15 and Dell Inspiron 14 now start at just $899 each as a result, and Qualcomm also previously said its laptops would dip as low as the $700 mark in 2025.
