Native support for Windows on ARM

What does this mean for Logos Bible Sofware (and me)? I will be looking for an ARM compiled version of Logos! Until then, my Windows Logos software will have to be emulated (just like software had to be when the M1 processor was first released), which means slower 😒.
My Surface Laptop 7 with the Elite X ARM processor will be delivered Jun 18th. So, Logos, what's the plan?

With Microsoft going all-in on AI, the chips they use will focus more on neural processing units (NPUs) to run AI processes in the background. However, that has to be done efficiently for battery life.
The new emulation will likely be much better than before, but native support would be incredible, given the size of the libraries/resources accessed, etc. I really hope Logos is already working on support for ARM devices as they are likely the future.

Any new updates on this?
I was all set to purchase the new MS Surface Laptop 7 but changed my mind at the last second because of this issue.
So I purchased a Dell XPS 16 Laptop instead, just to be safe.
One more question… Does this issue also affect the Logos app on phones?
I'm planning on purchasing the soon-to-be released Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra next Jan/Feb. It will feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset. Will the Logos app work okay on it.
Thanks,
Richard
P.S.
I've been using a 15" MS Surface Book 2 for the last 7 years.

I'd like to update to a Surface Pro 11 computer with Windows ARM but want to be sure Logos will run decently on it. This is now a common enough scenario that Logos should test performance and be able to give an accurate idea of the performance hit when run in emulation mode—until a native Windows ARM version is available.
I just want to add a comment concerning the new devices using Snapdragon processors. Please Logos add support natively for this. I've wondered for years now why Logos is so quick to support Apple in their endeavors but not other brands. I remember even going from Apple to Samsung (ipad Pro m1-Samsung tab s8 ultra) and experiencing only limited features and extremely lagging performance.
As someone who is deeply interested in purchasing a new ARM device for battery life as im on the go so much, id appreciate this. For now ill continue using my Legion 5 Slim with a power hungry 4060…lol. Thankfully I can turn it off and 64gb RAM does wonders for my million tabs and logos.

Can FL make a public comment on how well emulation is or is not working on the ARM chip? And whether there is an update on this whole topic as well as upcoming intel chips soon to be on the new Surface devices?

I just canceled my Surface ARM computer purchase after learning it isn't supported.
My old computer runs too slow with Logos.
What windows laptop does Logos recommend for running their software?
I may have to get a different Bible Program. If so, are there Bible programs that run with Windows ARM?

Logos does not recommend particular computers but their recommended specs are available here
Just wanted to add my voice here and say I’d really love to see native Logos support for ARM-based Windows devices—especially the Surface Pro line and the new Copilot PCs coming out.
As a Lutheran pastor and teacher, Logos is part of my everyday life—for sermon prep, study, teaching, and pastoral care. I’ve been seriously thinking about picking up a new Surface Pro for the portability, battery life, and clean design (also trying to simplify my tech and move away from smartphones). But honestly, the lack of native ARM support for Logos is the one thing holding me back.
I know it runs great on Apple’s M-series chips, which is awesome. It’d just be a huge win to see that same kind of support on Windows as more of us move to ARM-based devices for daily work.
Thanks for all you’re doing to keep Logos sharp and responsive—hoping this gets on the roadmap.
My Surface laptop 2 is dying. Please do what you can to urge the troops to support the new hardware. Portability is everything - and on Windows, that means ARM.
