New telephone operators add to the interest aroused by computers with Windows 10 and ARM heart
The arrival of laptops and convertibles with ARM heart is one of the most interesting movements we will see this year Perhaps one of the more interesting and this despite the fact that we have seen the limitations of this type of product, so much so that Microsoft hastened to cover these deficiencies.
However, until they are released on the market we will not be able to see first-hand how they work. Neither for better nor for worse, we can trust the figures that are given many times before the launch.So while they arrive or not, we will focus on knowing how the distribution of this equipment will be in which the telephone operators will play an important role.
Is a telephone company essential to distribute laptops? In the case of new equipment with ARM yes, since when they were presented Emphasis was placed on the concept called Windows 10 Always Connected. The new equipment will be permanently connected to the network thanks to the data modem they incorporate.
And being connected means using a SIM card (either eSim or normal SIM) and this is where they come into play the telephone operators. Given that these devices have 4G connectivity and an improvement in autonomy that they claim will make them functional without a charging cable for up to a total of 22 hours, we can see how sweet they are for telephone companies."
This is how we saw how initially T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon said they were interested in offering Always Connected devices , operators to which now add new telephone companies from different countries. The offer of possible vendors of the new Microsoft always-connected devices remains as follows for now:
- USA ? T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T
- Australia-Telstra
- China ? CMCC (China Mobile Communications Corporation)
- France ? Transatel
- Germany-Deutsche Telekom
- Ireland ? Cubic
- Spain ? Telephone
- Swiss ? Swisscom
- China ? China Telecom
- Italy ? TIM (Telecom Iatlia)
- U.K. ? EE
Therefore, it remains to be seen how the first equipment of this type begins to arrive in stores (remember that they will be sold in the Store from Microsoft and on some web pages such as Amazon). We have seen two models for now, the Asus NovaGo and the HP Envy X2 and later Lenovo did the same by presenting the Lenovo Miix 630. It will be throughout this year when the landing of the equipment that is the result of the union between Microsoft and Qualcomm and from then on we can draw conclusions.
