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?
Bueller … Bueller … ???
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.
My intel laptop died this morning. I really need an ARM version of Logos. As much as we've all paid for this there should be an ARM version.
Doesn’t look like there’s enough demand for it yet.
It might not breach 13% of the PC market but this is still a lot of users. Likely similar to Mac. The question is what is the percentage of Logos users. Every new Microsoft Surface PC will be arm. And I think this is likely going to be a primary device for logos windows users.
One year since its release, I am planning to go ahead and order a Surface 7 laptop with the Snapdragon x elite chip and 32GB of RAM. Any updates on how smoothly I can expect Logos to run via emulation on this device? Are there any major concerns running Logos (mainly for passage guide, searches, and sermon builder) with this chip in June 2025? Or is it now reasonably safe to go ahead with an ARM based computer?
My Surface Laptop 2 died, and I just got a Surface (Surface Pro, Copilot+ PC - Snapdragon® X Elite (12 Core), with OLED display, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD). I am running Logos Max with over 5,000 resources and haven't had a problem. The one sticking point is that after it adds resources, it indexes as normal until around 96%, and then it seems to be hung up - but it isn't. That last little bit simply takes longer than you would expect.
But so far, everything is running smoothly.
I also am voting for a ARM based Logos update! Just ordered the new MS Surface and would LOVE to not have it run in emulation mode in the near future. The future of chipsets are moving toward ARM for its power and efficiency, so let's get ahead of the curve Logos and get an ARM based version out and ready to go! You have already done so with the MAC version, so, get the team working on the windows based one too…
@ Rev. Andrew Gysi - do you find that it runs "okay" in emulation? I have been wanting to upgrade my 5 year old Surface, but don't want to not have Logos…
@William Marshall
On my surface (see comment above) it usually claims it's indexing when I start the app, but it works fine and the indexing time isn't bad…a few minutes. I'm happy enough at present.
the title says it. It used to take 1 click. Now it takes 3 clicks. This is not an improvement, to me!

I was reading through Charles Stanley's Handbook for Christian Living tonight. I noticed it has some concise yet useful articles on various counseling topics, but it doesn't appear in the Counseling Guide yet. This might be a good one to add to the Counseling Guide as another resource.

I have recently completed a MS in Learning Design and have been thinking of ways to incorporate learning theories into the preaching and discipleship ministries of the church. I think it would be helpful if Logos could develop an AI tool into its platform that would allow users to upload a sermon manuscript and then ask…
