- Nvidia scheduled a Computex keynote on Sunday night (8 PM PT/11 PM ET) in Taipei, rumored to unveil its new N1 and N1X laptop chips.
- Lenovo has been preparing a new laptop that will use Nvidia’s Arm‑powered N1X processor, and reports say Dell is doing the same.
- Qualcomm will lose its exclusive license for Microsoft’s Windows 11 ARM OS as Nvidia’s entry into Windows on Arm expands competition.
- Michael Dell hinted at an AI PC with Nvidia in a 2024 interview, linking the upcoming N1X chips to AI‑focused laptops.
Why it matters: The announcement gives laptop makers like Lenovo and Dell a fresh high‑performance ARM platform, expanding competition and offering consumers more choices, while Qualcomm’s exclusive Windows‑11‑ARM license ends, reducing its leverage in the entry‑level laptop segment and opening the market to broader competition.
