Who are Windows 10 on ARM-powered devices for?

Windows 10 on ARM devices are here, but with lacking performance in x86 apps, I've started to wonder who these devices are really for.

ARM-powered devices running Windows 10 are now slowly beginning to ship. You can already buy the HP Enxy x2 powered by ARM, with more from the likes of Lenovo and ASUS on the way shortly. Because of this, we've already seen some early reviews talking about these new devices, and it's got a few people asking "who are these devices for?"

Windows 10 on ARM is a pretty big deal. It's full, unaltered Windows 10, running on a CPU basically designed for phones. The first generation Windows 10 on ARM PCs are shipping with a Snapdragon 835, and are more than capable of running full Windows 10 compiled for ARM. Reviews so far have been pretty positive when it comes to performance and battery life when using apps that are compiled natively for ARM, but things start to fall down a bit when it comes to emulation.
