There are too many Windows laptops, and I can’t blame Microsoft for confusing choices — but there are ways it could help us all

The author has experience building Windows desktops but has recognized the practicality of Windows laptops due to frequent travel. They have a shortlist of preferred models, including the ASUS Zenbook A14 and Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, but acknowledge that many consumers opt for cheaper laptops available in stores. The introduction of entry-level models like the MacBook Neo has shifted the conversation around Windows laptops. There is confusion among consumers regarding specifications, such as RAM and battery longevity, which are often overwhelming. The author suggests that a certified 'Windows Pro' laptop could guarantee features like a 120Hz display and 32GB of RAM, while a budget-friendly 'Windows Core' option could focus on IPS screens with at least 16GB of memory. There are concerns about consumer perception of non-certified products and the need for better education in the market.

NVIDIA N1 and N1X: new leak data show multiple Windows-on-Arm chips for notebooks

NVIDIA is preparing to enter the Windows PC market with at least two distinct ARM chip product tiers, the N1 and N1X, although these remain unverified. The N1X will have two configurations: a larger variant with 20 CPU cores (10+10 layout), 48 Blackwell Streaming Multiprocessors (6,144 CUDA cores), and a smaller variant with 18 CPU cores (9+9 layout) and 40 SMs (5,120 CUDA cores). The power envelope for the N1X models is projected to be between 45 to 80 watts. The smaller N1 variant is expected to have a power range of 18 to 45 watts and up to 20 SMs. Retailer listings suggest that Lenovo may offer models like the Yoga Pro 7 15.3 with NVIDIA N1X configurations and options for 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. NVIDIA and Microsoft plan to unveil the first Windows PCs featuring NVIDIA chips, with potential vendors including Microsoft’s Surface brand and Dell. The success of the Windows-on-Arm platform will depend on factors beyond CUDA core count, such as native applications, drivers, power management, and gaming compatibility. NVIDIA's extensive resources, including CUDA and AI frameworks, may give it an advantage over competitors like Qualcomm.

The Steam Deck OLED's price hikes have killed its status as the best deal in PC games hardware

The Steam Deck OLED’s price hikes have killed its status as the best deal in PC games hardware

Ongoing shortages in memory chips, driven by increased demand from AI-focused data centers, have led to significant price increases for the Steam Deck OLED. The 512GB model's price rose from £479 to £649 in the UK (35% increase) and from 9 to 9 in the US (44% increase). The 1TB variant increased from £569 to £779 in the UK (36% increase) and from 9 to 9 in the US (46% increase). Valve attributes these hikes to rising component costs and logistical challenges. The 1TB Steam Deck OLED now competes closely with the Asus ROG Ally X, which offers better performance at a similar price point. The 512GB version has lost its budget-friendly appeal, as the Lenovo Legion Go S undercuts it at £549. Despite the price adjustments, the Steam Deck OLED remains favored for casual gaming due to its design and comfort, but the hikes may deter potential buyers and raise concerns about future products.
