Qualcomm just squashed its own desktop ambitions
Qualcomm's CEO presenting Snapdragon X Elite CPUs at Computex 2024.

Qualcomm has been on a tear with its Snapdragon X Elite CPUs in Copilot+ laptops, but the company is struggling to expand beyond the initial lineup. Just days after the first orders arrived, Qualcomm has abruptly canceled its Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows and promised refunds to developers who had ordered the mini PC.

We first heard about the Snapdragon Dev Kit in May, when Qualcomm announced it alongside the release of Copilot+ laptops. It was a part of Qualcomm's ambitions on desktop Windows PCs, and Windows PCs more broadly, as it would allow developers to toy around with the most powerful Snapdragon X Elite CPU available -- the X1E-00-1DE, which isn't available on any consumer device and has over 100 watts of power at its disposal.

Our favorite pre-built gaming desktop is $700 off today
Alienware Aurora R16 sitting on a coffee table.

What once was $3,200 is now $2,500. The Alienware Aurora R16 is our top choice of the best gaming desktops and it's now $700 off. It has a 4080 Super, 2TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of RAM, not to mention a gorgeous look to it that invokes the mental imagery of an under-the-water alien cultist research lab. If this is enough to count you as interested, go ahead and tap the button below to find the computer on sale. Otherwise, keep reading and we'll dive into the details about why you should consider this desktop and what exactly put it so high on our list.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16
You should note that the configuration of the Alienware Aurora R16 on sale today is a sort of super version of the one covered in our Aurora R16 review, though most aspects are similar. One thing to note from the review, in particular, is that our reviewer found that "the Aurora R16 sacrifices very little by being a prebuilt." This means that you don't need to be a BIOS-understanding, static-electricity defying computer wizard to get a great final product. Its also worth pointing out just how good and reserved this PC looks, especially when compared to the overly bright and flashy competition. This PC looks fun, but it is also a step in the right direction maturity-wise. Finally, for the biggest difference between the review model and the one on sale, the graphics card, be sure to check out our RTX 4080 Super review, which covers that component specifically.
