Ecco dove comprare i nuovi PC Windows 10 con Snapdragon e modulo LTE in Italia

Da quando Qualcomm ha annunciato i primi laptop Windows 10 dotati si processore Snapdragon lo scorso dicembre, abbiamo seguito con attenzione l'evolversi della situazione in termini di arrivo nel nostro mercato. Oggi finalmente abbiamo delle notizie certe che vi piaceranno: Qualcomm annuncia che i PC Windows 10 con SoC Snapdragon dotati di modulo LTE saranno venduti in Italia da Unieuro e saranno supportati dalle reti TIM (come già anticipato a gennaio) per essere sempre connessi ad internet.

"I prossimi PC portatili sempre connessi riusciranno a combinare la semplicità e la connettività di uno smartphone con la potenza e la capacità creativa di un PC con Windows 10" stando alle parole di Matt Barlow, vice presidente della divisione Windows and Devices di Microsoft.

Ricordiamo che i prodotti di cui stiamo parlando saranno sviluppati sicuramente in collaborazione con Lenovo, ASUS ed HP: parliamo, ad esempio, dei nuovi Lenovo Miix 630, HP ENVY x2 ed ASUS NovaGO, tutti dotati di Windows 10 S, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 e modulo LTE.

Abbiamo la certezza che arriveranno in Italia e sappiamo anche dove, ora non resta che scoprire quando.

Select operators also plan to stock Always Connected PCs in their retail locations. Three new Windows 10 devices powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Mobile PC platform from OEM brands ASUS, HP and Lenovo™ plan to utilize mobile operators’ blazing fast 4G/LTE networks, supporting mobile computing virtually anytime, anywhere.
