These PCs start up, connect and last like smartphones

If you're itching to get your hands on a 2-in-1 PC that's more like a smartphone, you're about to be in luck.

 

Mobile chip giant Qualcomm, along with partners HP and Asus, on Tuesday showed off the first two Windows 10 PCs that use its chips. The Asus NovaGo and the HP Envy x2 both sport Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor and its X16 LTE modem, giving them the smarts and connectivity speed traditionally found only in smartphones.   

 

The Asus NovaGo has a 13.3-inch LED-backlit full HD display, is able to run 22 hours of video and can stay on standby for 30 days. It will start at $599 for 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64GB of storage. The $799 model will get 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 

 

The HP Envy x2 features a 12.3-inch display and will last up to 20 hours on a single charge and up to about 30 days in 'modern standby mode.' The device will have up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Pricing isn't yet available.

 

Using Qualcomm chips in PCs 'gives us the capability to do some things we never would have been able to do before,' Kevin Frost, vice president and general manager of HP's consumer personal systems business, said Tuesday. 'People are going to spend more time ... on their Windows always-connected device than ever before.'

 

Lenovo also will introduce a Snapdragon-powered device at CES in January.
