Buy it on Amazon – http://lon.tv/dl6bo (affiliate link) – No it’s not the dreadful Windows RT reincarnated but still needs work. The Asus NovaGo TP370QL runs with an ARM based Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile phone processor. It can also run Intel x86 code in emulation.

My only gripe is it runs windows not android
nope.
I have a feeling that the emulation will one day be near as good as the genuine article. But we’re not there yet. If I want a Windows machine with good battery life, it’d be an Atom based machine. If I were to have a mobile processor running on my machine, the machine itself would have to be extremely thin. (I’d live with the shortcomings if the hardware was unique and ultra portable.)
I think this laptop would run better a linux OS,have you tried any distribution? I think Ubuntu has an ARM optimised version.
Honestly, if people want LTE…just get a business laptop with LTE
Too damn expensive. ARM won’t run any x64 (64-bit) Windows Apps and it’s running as an Emulator, it’s emulating an x86 CPU .. and it’s slow. It’s basically like Windows RT with emulated x86, and RT failed miserably.
Wasn’t Windows S suppose to be on Chromebook level hardware at Chromebook level prices? This laptop makes no sense. I’ll just what for the eventual fire sale.
Hi Lon! How do you think this laptop would work with Android/Remix OS/Chromium installed? I imagine it would be a better experience? Since the processor is running an OS it’s optimized to run. Maybe battery life would be better too.
8:32: I’m getting hungry, and it’s only Friday morning here in Sydney, Australia!
Thanks for the warning. I figured as much.
That price is a deal breaker. Too bad, it’s a cool device.
Great review Lon. This laptop doesn’t seem to be quite ready for prime time yet. I think I’d give them another year or two with better processors.
First
50% the performance at 200% the price. Why would you release it to consumers?
It’s just going to make people associate it with shit performance for the price. Release it when it’s a better solution than a laptop + power bank, it’s still a few generations away from being competitive.
Nice work on the video, Lon
ARM based Windows systems…
Super expensive
no x64 based app compatibility.
$600
Yeah…too expensive for too slow of performance. I honestly don’t see how ARM is ever gonna take off. It’s just not there.
Amazing that there are still so many issues. You would have thought a multi billion dollar company would fix this stuff before actual products release..
There will be a snapdragon 1000 that will be made to run windows and by emulator 86 software
It would have been an interesting product if it cost half the current price. Otherwise I think they missed everything on this, from the design to the performance standpoint, and weren’t even able to handle the compatibility issues.
Why does this exist? Some intel i5 and definetly i3 and amd a12 laptops are way more powerful and cost less….. And has way more use ability
$599 and $699 is wayyyyyy too much, I was very interested before hearing those prices.
