eight laptops that you can buy soon with the new NVIDIA RTX Spark chip

by

The market of Windows laptop processors It seems that he is more alive than ever. After Qualcomm’s arrival with its ARM chips, MediaTek and NVIDIA have just officially announced their counterattack: NVIDIA RTX Spark. This is a new generation of processors designed specifically for slim laptops and compact computers running Windows 11. He Microsoft Surface Ultra It will be one of these laptops that will go on sale soon with this new chip from NVIDIA and MediaTek. It is an improvement over the previous generation that has Snapdragon 1,799 euros. Of the new generation with the new SoC, the price of the next Microsoft laptop is still unknown. Microsoft Surface Laptop | Copilot+ PC | 15” touch screen | Snapdragon® X Elite | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | Latest Model, 7th edition | Black The price could vary. We earn commission from these links ARM efficiency and RTX power Until now, ultra-thin laptops with long battery life had to sacrifice performance in demanding video games. The alliance of these two giants seeks precisely to end this problem. MediaTek brings its experience in the design of SoC low power consumption, low latency wireless connectivity and intelligent power management. For its part, NVIDIA puts its graphic architecture on the table RTX and its local Artificial Intelligence ecosystem. The result (according to both companies) promises hyper-realistic visual effects and brutal graphic power on devices that neither heat up nor consume the battery. Although not all the technical details have been revealed, the architecture of this chip already shows its intentions to compete in the high rangethanks to key features such as: Advanced local AI: prepared to run AI agents and relatively heavy workflows directly on the device, which could reduce the constant dependence on cloud services for everyday tasks. Up to 128 GB of unified memory: It is projected with a high-capacity, high-speed unified memory architecture designed by MediaTek, an approach reminiscent of the strategy applied by Apple in its M series processors. Cutting-edge manufacturing: The chip benefits from the collaboration between MediaTek and TSMC, which points to optimized power consumption and even notable power efficiency under demanding workloads. Laptops that have been presented and will integrate this chip With the presentation of RTX Spark we have also been able to discover a new series of laptops that will integrate this SWc. However, it is worth keeping in mind that these teams have not yet landed in stores. If you urgently need to renew your computer and prefer not to wait for the next few months, we have selected some of the most interesting proposals that you can find today among the current generation models after presenting the features that the new models will have. Microsoft Surface Ultra: The upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra aims to become the most powerful device in Microsoft history when it debuts at the end of the year. Its great hardware assets will be a spectacular 2,000-nit Mini-LED screen, a haptic trackpad and total connectivity without sacrificing ports. All of this powered by the new RTX Spark chip, which promises graphics performance on par with a laptop RTX 5070 and the ability to process advanced Artificial Intelligence locally and 100% privately. The previous generation of this Microsoft Surface (which is the current one) comes with a 15-inch touch screen, Snapdragon X Elite as the brain, 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of SSD storage and Copilot+ PC.

Nvidia has just launched its missile against Intel AMD’s dominance in PCs and laptops. There is a problem: it is a slightly obsolete missile

by

In October 2025 Nvidia launched its DGX Sparka unique workstation that the company called “the world’s smallest AI supercomputer.” that machine It was actually announced in January.but it took a while to reach the market. When it finally did, it became an interesting alternative but somewhat limited in scope. That is just what the new Nvidia RTX Spark family, which will arrive, wants to change both in the form of laptops as desktop computers, and that it will do so with a fundamental difference: Windows for ARM. Hello, Windows for ARM. The golden DGX Spark were Linux-based workstations, which targeted them at a smaller audience, but with the RTX Spark, Nvidia wanted to make the big leap to the general public. These devices are based on Windows 11 for ARM, and will take advantage of all hardware and software capabilities so that this technological solution is no longer only aimed at AI enthusiasts. Of course, that will continue to be one of the segments it will target, but these systems can also be used for both creative and gaming environments. In Xataka We wanted an ideal PC to be able to experiment with local AI models. The Framework Desktop is the answer to our prayers Approximate performance: an RTX 5070. Those responsible for NVIDIA have not yet given too many specific details about what we can expect from this platform in terms of performance, but they have indicated that the performance of the GPU It is close to that of an RTX 5070 (portable version), although the exact numbers depend on the specific application or game: in some it will be a little better, in others a little worse and in others exactly the same. Yes, they have indicated that the promise is to obtain 100 FPS in 1440p gaming as reference data. Same chip, different operating system. Hardware technical specifications They are identical to those of the DGX Spark. The main data are the following: NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Architecture CPU: up to 20 Grace cores GPU: Developed in collaboration with MediaTek, up to 6,144 CUDA cores, 1 PFLOP of AI performance Unified memory: up to 128 GB LPDDR5X at 273 GB/s with NVLink at 600 GB/s But compared to the DGX Spark, we insist, the fundamental difference is that instead of using a specific Nvidia Linux distribution for these machines, here we can take advantage of Windows 11 for ARM. When AI controls your computer. During the presentation of this platform, those responsible for Nvidia talked about the absolute rise of AI agents and how this will mark a paradigm shift in the way we use our PCs and laptops. Before we did it with a mouse and keyboard, but they see a near future in which control is taken by those AI agents, with whom we will interact in a quite different way. The example is the already famous OpenClaw and Hermeswhich with the appropriate permissions can run all kinds of tasks and applications on the computer to autonomously do things for us. Six laptops initially. The Nvidia RTX Spark platform will initially be available in six devices from six different manufacturers that will rely on this technological solution from launch. ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI will have their equipment ready this fall, although at the moment there are no specific specifications or prices announced. It is possible that during Computex we will learn more details about these devices. What can we expect in autonomy. At the moment no specific data has been given about the efficiency of these devices, but Nvidia spoke of a battery life “for the whole day.” They highlight the efficiency of the GPU and in fact indicate that GPU performance will be virtually the same whether the laptop is plugged in or not. Obviously in intensive tasks and demanding games that battery will drain much more quickly. In Xataka Goodbye to the duopoly of Intel and AMD in Windows: the arrival of NVIDIA processors is imminent and brings 8 laptops under its arm The doubt of Windows for ARM. The commitment to Microsoft’s operating system is striking, but Nvidia believes that now the system is much more mature, and that both emulation and hardware support It’s much better than in the past thanks to the work that Microsoft and Nvidia have done in the months and years leading up to this launch. They talk about a “first-class experience” for the operating system, and even commented that they have worked with the developers of anti-cheat systems in video games so that this is not a problem on these computers. And also desktop computers. When Nvidia announced its DGX Spark, then similar desktop computers appeared in format that also offered that same platform. The same thing will happen with RTX Spark, and although there was hardly any data here, Nvidia did indicate that these devices will appear in the fall from Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, MSI and Lenovo. {“videoId”:”x7ztphf”,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”How to know the components of your PC (RAM, Graphics, CPU…) and the state they are in”, “tag”:”webedia-prod”, “duration”:”387″} Many unknowns and certain obsolescence. There are many doubts surrounding these devices in terms of performance or price, but there is another fundamental problem: when these laptops and desktop PCs appear starting in the fall, they will do so with chips that have been on the market for a year and therefore in a certain sense are already somewhat obsolete. Competing with the Desktop Framework. The memory bandwidth is not exceptional, and for example the Framework Desktop presented in August 2025 already offered a similar configuration in that section, with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5x memory at 256 GB/s. It will be interesting to see how the RTX Spark machines perform against alternatives like this (which makes use of a “traditional” x86 Windows 11 operating system) and whether Nvidia’s ARM chip can really make a difference in an ultra-competitive market.

The MacBook Neo has made traditional Windows laptops look ridiculous. This is great news for users.

by

He MacBook Neo showed the way. Mid-range laptops seemed stuck in the past, with an unattractive price/performance ratio. The feeling was that once you were buying a laptop, it was better to invest 1,000 euros or more to be able to work and play comfortably. That seems to be finally changing, because we are seeing a lot of movement in the world of Windows laptops. Asleep on our laurels. Apple’s new model showed that there could be alternatives and caught manufacturers on the wrong foot. Everyone seemed comfortable with it. status quobut he MacBook Neo woke them up from slumberand soon we will see a deployment of modest but functional equipment. Above all, because three of the semiconductor majors already have their SoCs ready or almost ready to compete with the Apple A18 Pro of the MacBook Neo. Qualcomm Snapdragon C. The first alternative is this chip with ARM architecture that just announced by Qualcomm and according to the firm, it will allow equipment to be offered with starting prices of $300. It is very likely that these proposals are too limited (and have no more than 4 GB of RAM), but also that there are versions with higher configurations. The Snapdragon C promises remarkable efficiency, and Qualcomm is an old acquaintance of Windows for ARM equipment. Intel Wildcat Lake. In April we saw how Intel showed its great commitment to conquer this new era of mid-range laptops. I did it with his family Wildcat Lake in which, for example, the new Intel Core 3 304 are integrated. The fundamental advantage of these chips is that of using the traditional x86-64 architecture, which until now has proven to be the best option for Windows computers due to its completely native support for the OS and its applications. Nvidia waits its turn. A lot has been spoken how the duopoly of Intel and AMD on Windows computers could have an expiration date. Qualcomm has not managed to erode that reality, but who may have an important asset is Nvidia, which is preparing the launch of its Arm chips. There has been talk for months that there will be not one, but two based on the GP10 chip which Nvidia jointly developed with MediaTek. The names that are mentioned in the leaks are N1 and N1X, and although the details are unknown, the expectations are notable and already start to leak also Lenovo models that will integrate the N1X. But Windows on ARM has never caught on. The doubts with Qualcomm and Nvidia’s proposals are not due to them, but rather to Microsoft and its Windows operating system. Its version for ARM chips has been available for years, but the teams that have taken advantage of these chips were limited by some software conflicts. I’d better stay with Intel and AMD. There are hardly any problems in that sense anymore, but the promise of the efficiency of ARM chips was not so striking when the prices of such equipment were high. In the end, it was more worthwhile for most users to bet on “traditional” chips from Intel and AMD, and Qualcomm’s proposals—the only ones that appeared on the market—never quite conquered the general public, not even when Copilot+ PCs appeared. Windows 11, by the way, He didn’t make it easy either. with your list of requirements. Specs don’t matter (that much). We already saw yesterday how the specifications of the Wilcat Lake chips are superior to those of the Apple A18 Pro of the MacBook Neobut that doesn’t mean much. Above all, because the MacBook Neo have proven to be laptops that offer a fantastic user experience, but at the moment computers with Intel chips have not been analyzed and their performance is unknown. These same doubts affect future devices with Qualcomm or Nvidia chips: they will have to demonstrate that the user experience is as good (or better) than that of the MacBook Neo, or else these manufacturers (and Microsoft) will have a serious problem. It’s good news. Whatever happens, Apple’s move has caused manufacturers to finally move and develop solutions to try to compete with the surprising team from Cupertino. If the MacBook Neo had not been launched, we would probably still be stuck in the mid-range Windows laptop segment, but this is going to liven things up and revive competition between manufacturers. We all win. In Xataka | “We arrived too soon, but we were right”: The MacBook Neo is everything Microsoft dreamed of with the disastrous Windows 8

Microsoft has funded a report showing that Windows laptops are better than the MacBook Neo. There are many questions

by

Almost two months after the launch of the MacBook NeoApple’s cheap laptop continues to surprise. To Apple the firstwhich had sales forecasts that they had to fold because it seems that the model has taken off very well in the market. In fact, so well that can be a problem for the company itself. It has also caught walking changed to a segment of Windows laptops that compete in potential, but show that there are sections in which the smallest of the Apple family has no rival. The competition is being tough and something that shows that the Neo is the most successful MacBook in recent years is that Microsoft has supported a report to compare several Windows laptops against the MacBook Neo. And of course, controversy has broken out because the report does not point to key sections that make the Neo so interesting for certain sectors of users. All vs the MacBook Neo Microsoft dominates the laptop landscape. Although there is a recent movement to move to Linuxespecially after Microsoft’s latest actions filling your operating system with ‘junk’ which makes PCs slower (something the company’s CEO himself has acknowledged, stating that they are going to relax their foot on the accelerator of AI), Windows is THE computer operating system. It is accessible, it has been very easy to use for many years and if you buy a PC, it will most likely come with its license. In the highest range they have competition from MacBooks, but for less than 1,000 euros there is no discussion. A laptop for office use, one as a second computer or one for studying is Windows almost yes or yes. There are also Chromebooks out there, but sometimes not even Google remembers them. But of course, a MacBook Neo has arrived with a very attractive price, especially in the United States where, with the student discount, you can get it for $599. As we say, it seems that is entering that segment like a sharp knifeor even for those who already have a Mac and want a simpler one for other types of tasks. And Microsoft is not interested in having market share eaten away. Therefore, as we read in Wccftechhas financed a report to Signal65 to compare certain Windows laptop models against the MacBook Neo. What models? On paper, all four models have better features in many aspects such as storage, RAM, ports or the power of the processors. These are the points where the MacBook Neo falters the most (especially in storage) because its SoC is the A18 Pro of the iPhone 16 Pro with a totally different philosophy. If we look at the Signal65 comparison tables, it is evident that Windows laptops have an advantage over Apple’s. The problem is when you start reading the fine print. For example, in the performance tests, they were all done with the power adapter and here it is important because, while Windows laptops perform better with the adapter, Apple laptops do not distinguish between being plugged in or not (unless they are in power saving mode). On the other hand, comparative tables show certain biases such as pointing out that a larger screen (15.3 inches versus 13 inches) is better for the mere fact of being larger when the MacBook’s has more resolution and pixel density. The battery test has also sparked controversy because yes, one on the list, the IdeaPad Slim 3x, has 56% more battery, but the MacBook’s screen is brighter and, while the IdeaPad has a 60 Wh battery, the MacBook’s is 36.5 Wh. And then the issue of price. While the IdeaPad Slim 3x starts at $449, being a very aggressive device in this sense, the HP starts at $599, the Yoga 7i at $1,099 and the Omnibook at $949. In addition, two of them are convertible, so they are directly in another category. What is overlooked in the comparison is that the MacBook Neo, although it is true that it is not the most powerful, It has a design and build quality that a manufacturer with Windows cannot match for that price, nor can the screen and autonomy in a mobility environment in which you are not always with maximum brightness. It also does not address the efficiency of one system versus the other because, in the end, it is not an analysis, but rather a comparison that does not aim to honestly measure the devices. All five are very interesting and all five have their place in the market, but from the moment you compare pears with apples is when things start to not add up. Asus’s own financial director already pointed out that the launch of the Neo was a blow to the market, stating that all PC manufacturers should look carefully. In the end, the real problem is not how each team performs in the comparison, but rather that it is not a serious analysis either because of the choice of opponents or, above all, because of that great “financed by Microsoft” that shows that Asus’s financial director is not misguided and that the industry must take this Apple product seriously. That Microsoft has funded a biased comparison is important because it enhances the value of independent analyzes and, above all, because if the MacBook Neo is really harming the Windows laptop sector, they will surely respond with products that can stand up to it at the same price and users will win. The bad news is that both the Neo and any type of competition arrive at the worst time, being in the middle of a crisis with no end in sight and that is causing all manufacturers to offer worse RAM and storage configurations… and that is hard impacting even an Apple which has stopped offering some versions of its products. And something important in the background in the comparison: there are sectors in which things are not so much about specifications as about experience, and with the current Windows the experience … Read more

In the midst of the RAM and SSD crisis, there are those who are launching laptops and mobile phones with more capacity at the same price: Apple

by

Apple has set out to eclipse the Mobile World Congress. He does not attend the Barcelona fair, but he has presented products. For now, the iPhone 17ethe new MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro and M5 Max processorsthe new MacBook Air M5 and the renewal of your monitor Studio Display. And what has caught my attention the most is the “generosity” of an Apple that has not accustomed us to it. Because, with the one that is falling with the RAM crisis and of SSD priceApple is offering more without increasing the price. And it is something that has several readings… and some asterisks. The new devices. There isn’t much new in anything the company has presented so far. It is assumed that there is still a ‘cheap’ MacBook throughout this Wednesday, March 4, but what they have already presented is, basically, the same as last year, but with new processors. The iPhone 17e is a mobile phone with an outdated design, but it includes a slightly cut version of the processor of the iPhone 17 Pro. The MacBook Pros were already beasts in many ways and now they can be equipped with the M5 Pro and M5 Max that reach absurd figures for GPU capacity and memory bandwidth in the most powerful versions. And the MacBook Air was already a very interesting device for mobility, but now also somewhat more powerful. As I say, not much new on the front, until we look at the storage. With the one that is falling… At this point, no one is aware that we are experiencing an unprecedented component crisis. It’s not like 2020, when a bunch of factors caused a global chip crisis. Now there is only one “culprit”: artificial intelligence. There is three main companies that manufacture memory (Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung), and the three have focused almost the entire his production to memories for AI. This is causing not only us to have to pay more to be able to buy RAM or an SSD for our PC, but also the manufacturers themselves are changing their device launch plans –the steam machine-, there is someone who is selling laptops without RAM or without SSDwho looks to Chinese manufacturers to see if they can find a solution or, directly, those who can withdraw from the market. And, in the middle of that hurricane, Apple (which It is not characterized by its popular prices), launches devices. And the surprise came. Generosity. I’m not going to explain much, I’m just going to give some information: The iPhone 17e starts with 256 GB of storage and costs 709 euros. He iPhone 16e It started at 128 GB and cost 709 euros. The MacBook Air M5 costs 1,199 euros with 512 GB of SSD. He MacBook Air M4 It cost the same at launch, 1,199 euros (in October last year they lowered it by 100 euros to 1,099 euros), but with 256 GB. On these devices, Apple has doubled the storage while maintaining the price. And not only that: the Studio Display XDR was sold with a basic tilt adjustment stand, but you could purchase the articulated arm that allowed you to adjust both angle and height. The price of support? 999 euros, which became a meme. Now, the new Studio Display XDR It comes with that ‘Pro’ support included. Of course, the base MacBook Pro M5 costs 100 euros more with a 1 TB SSD instead of 512 GB. Generosity? What is happening here, is the first thing I thought when I started analyzing the price. There are several options that can be compatible… and even all at the same time. No company is there to give away, so it is simply possible that they have a huge stock of 512 GB SSDs that they now mount as a base in their computers. This would make sense if we take into account the very high price of expanding the memory on an Apple device. The most basic option would be the most chosen, so those with 128 GB on mobile phones and 256/512 on MacBooks would be the best sellers and, therefore, have a surplus of the expanded options that fewer people would opt for. Another reading may be that, due to the high price of the devices, Apple decides to absorb part of the cost of RAM because it’s still worth itmaking money per device sold and expanding the Mac user base at a time when Windows laptops can have a very difficult time. What Apple saves are the chargers in its new equipment. The MacBook Pro no longer included a charger, but the MacBook Air did. Now not even that. The turn. The other option is that… it will be our turn. The prices that I have detailed are in euros and for Spain if we take into account the launch price, without subsequent offers or reductions. In the United States, things are very different. They have also doubled the storage, but the MacBook Air in its 13 and 15-inch versions now They are 100 dollars more expensive than the previous generation. It is always complicated because direct conversions cannot be made from the US price to the European price (in fact, the M5 MacBook Air costs $1,099 and $1,299 compared to our 1,199 euros and 1,499 euros), but we may simply have to face that price increase in 2027 models. Because, unfortunately, the RAM crisis is going to last a long time.

Your phone is already more powerful than many basic laptops. This accessory wants to turn it into your new office

by

We have been seeing proposals for years that promise us turn your mobile into a desktop computer. The idea of ​​systems like Samsung DeX is that by connecting the mobile phone to a computer, we can control it with a keyboard and mouse. The problem is that we need a computer with the financial outlay that it entails. From here comes the idea of NexDock, an accessory to turn your mobile into a laptopeven if you don’t have a laptop. A portable shell It has a screen, it has a trackpad, it has a keyboard… looking at the photos we would say that it is a normal laptop, but in reality it is simply a shell. The NexDock has no operating system, processor or storage, but rather his “brain” is his cell phone that we connect via USB. The NexDock has a 14-inch screen with 1920×1200 resolution, has two stereo speakers, a full backlit keyboard and a integrated 5,000 mAh battery. This allows the mobile phone to be charged and the autonomy to be closer to that offered by a normal laptop. According to its creators, it offers more than 7 hours of autonomy. When connecting the mobile, the interface adapts to the screen and we can operate it with the keyboard and mouse, but there is more. We can also connect a console such as the Steam Deck, a Raspberry Pi or use it as a secondary screen for another computer. Price and compatible mobile phones The NexDock costs $229, a much lower price than a normal laptop, so it may be interesting for users who want the desktop experience without spending too much. However, it is already a significant amount and perhaps there are those who prefer to invest a little more and have a real computer. In addition, if you buy from Spain you have to add shipping costs, which increase the price to more than 290 dollars, about 245 euros at the current exchange rate. Regarding compatible mobile phones, it can be used with all those who have a desktop mode, such as those that are compatible with Samsung DeX, Google Pixel, Huawei with ‘Easy Projection’ and Motorola phones with ‘Ready For’. Google is expected to activate desktop mode for all Android soon, since It is a hidden feature in Android 16. In the case of iPhones, NexDock does not indicate that it is compatible, but it can be used through the app infiniteX2P which allows you to adapt the iOS interface to a large screen. More information | NexDock In Xataka | Windows 95 had a little secret that made rebooting faster. The reason was in its more chaotic architecture

The arrival of NVIDIA processors is imminent and brings 8 laptops under its arm

by

When the river sounds, it carries water. And rumors of NVIDIA launching its own processors for home computers have been around since at least a couple of years ago. Well, the arrival of Jensen Huang’s company in this segment is imminent and represents a total challenge to the hegemony of Intel and AMD and the x86 architecture. What’s more, it points to a paradigm shift in how we will understand Windows personal computers in the coming years. Bottom line: think Apple Silicon. The context. To date, Intel and AMD have divided the Windows laptop pie and ARM architecture It was intended either for more or less affordable and basic computers with Chromebook and MediaTek or for an expensive MacBook. It is true that already is there a powerful laptop with Qualcomm Snapdragon under the hood that runs Windows, but the arrival of NVIDIA chips this first quarter of 2026 wants to be the definitive push. Thus, these ambitious and powerful teams will not equip an NVIDIA GPU with an Intel CPU as we have been seeing for years, but rather they will have an NVIDIA SoC (actually, there are two models: N1 and N1X). Simply put, NVIDIA takes care of two essential pieces of hardware. Why is it important. NVIDIA wants to do with Windows what Apple has achieved with its M chips, an ecosystem where the processor and graphics are integrated and understood wonderfully, which is noticeable in issues such as battery consumption, efficiency or performance itself. The blessed convergence. For years, if you wanted a powerful computer for gaming or work, you had to choose between Intel or AMD and the x86 architecture, but NVIDIA enters a china shop like an elephant with the ARM architecture and its advantages: more efficiency, less heating and longer battery life. Until now, finding a reliable gaming device to play with was a pipe dream, but the N1X chip with the Blackwell architecture of the RTX 50 wants to change it. And furthermore, you could do it on more stylized equipment. On the other hand, these chips use unified memory (up to 128 GB LPDDR5X), which means fewer bottlenecks in demanding tasks such as gaming, local AI or video editing. What has escaped. A leak from Lenovo has revealed that the company has manufactured six laptops with the N1 and N1X processors, including a 15-inch gaming device. An X/Twitter user has published the list of the teams. The user’s profile is completely anonymous, not that it does not inspire much confidence, but there is more: this page updates The Legion control software already shows the existence of a “Legion 7 15N1X11” laptop where the “N1X” is precisely the NVIDIA SoC. Besides, The Verge has discovered already indexed and protected Lenovo content that refers to products with these processors. And not just Lenovo: Dell has also missed a premium device with NVIDIA N1X on its website, such as another X/Twitter user swiped. just a couple of days ago Digitimes gave to date: It will be this spring, although more devices will arrive this summer. After suffer a delayit seems that they will finally become a reality and will not stop here: the company already has the N2 and N2X on its roadmap for the end of 2027. Product descriptions with NVIDIA SoCs already appear on the Lenovo website The processors. There is little information about these components beyond a Geekbench leak that must be taken with tweezers. We know that the most powerful and aimed at models with more muscle is the N1X and rumors suggest that it has a 20-core CPU and an integrated GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores (with Blackwell architecture). However, the CEO of NVIDIA already confirmed than the N1 and the superchip GB10 They are practically the same. The N1 is simply a more modest chip focused on thermal efficiency and battery life and aimed at ultrabooks and mid-range. The first laptops with NVIDIA chips. The leaked devices that will debut with SoC from the company led by Huang will be eight: a Lenovo Legion 7 (15N1X11) gaming laptop with the N1X chip, the Lenovo Yoga 9 and Yoga Pro 7 convertibles with two versions to choose between N1X and N1, the IdeaPad Slim 5 in 14 and 16-inch versions with the N1 chip and the Dell “Premium 16”, probably XPS or Alienware, with an OLED screen and chip N1X. NVIDIA is not new to this. Lenovo is the largest PC manufacturer in the world (as collects Statista) and that it launches several models of its most important families means that it has strong reasons to trust that the performance of NVIDIA chips is up to par. However, NVIDIA’s ARM PC chips have been a long time coming, but that does not mean that it is a newbie in the sector, it is worth remembering that the switch It has a Tegra SoC and that this line has previously been the brain of tablets and even the Microsoft Surface or the Shield for TV. It is the beginning of a new cold war. And if confirmed, Microsoft’s desire would be fulfilled: the Windows on arm as a real alternative to Apple’s Macbook. The first quarter is not only the launch date, it can become a before and after between NVIDIA, Apple, AMD and Qualcomm for control of the computers of the future.
