Hey @redcoco

I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t work. You can always check our minimum requirements here:

I had a Snapdragon Elite laptop for a few days, and I can confirm that the Windows app works fine.

There doesn’t seem to be a Linux version on ARM yet, though, so if you intend to use it with Linux or WSL, it will probably not work.

I had it installed and is working fine. Thanks.  
BTW, why are most people returning Snapdragon Elite Laptops 😃 Have heard many cases now 😛

I didn’t return it. I just happened to test it for a few days from a friend who owns a tech site and got the device for a review.  
I’ve already decided that my next device will be a Surface Pro Snapdragon (currently, I own a Surface Pro 8), as I didn’t notice any incompatibilities with my workflow. In fact, the only thing that made me hold my purchase is the fact that LocalWP doesn’t work on WSL, which is inconvenient. Eventually, I will use the standard Windows app if I have to, but I’d rather avoid it, as I prefer WSL.

Balsamiq? Balsamic might get messy…
