ARM laptops are getting closer and Microsoft and Lenovo seem to be the most advanced

One of the news of the year has been the possibility of enjoying x86 applications on ARM processors. Announced the good news before 2017 began, the truth is that to this day there are few movements that we have known about in this regard, although it already seems that there are some actors in better positions than others

And it is that in the absence of knowing in detail which will be the first models that can reach the market, the truth is that it is not unreasonable to venture that the main brands that work as OEMs for Microsoft bet on a market that can be quite juicy.

And it is not in vain that we are perhaps facing one of the last bullets in the chamber for Microsoft with which attract users to its mobile platformmaking use of the flag for the integration of mobile and desktop systems. And it is that if Windows 10 Mobile has an anecdotal weight, Windows 10 on the desktop has incredible strength and that is what they should try to take advantage of.

This is how a race begins in which signs are beginning to appear of which may be the first manufacturers interested in betting on the platform and thus we have Microsoft and Lenovo in the first starting line of this new bet The first, logically, for being the father of the creature and the second for being one of the main equipment manufacturers worldwide.

Less powerful equipment but also more optimized for lower energy consumption

It is to be expected that we will thus find ourselves with less powerful equipment than the traditional desktop models that we all know, although these models can be oriented almost certainly to a totally different use in which we are not going to find a main purpose in which video games or work that requires power in abundance is the protagonist.

A new ecosystem of devices geared towards surfing the net, office tasks, multimedia playback... that would become direct competition with Google's Chromebooks(perhaps Windows Cloud will come into play here as well).

For now we know little else about it. We hope to see how the first computers arrive with the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 inside (or evolutions of it) so that more competition is added in a market such as that of computer equipment processors where the almighty Intel comes up with a new competitor... if AMD was not enough.It is speculated that the first devices to reach the market will be two-in-one hybrid devices, so fashionable lately, but to find out more we have no choice but to continue expecting.
