If you're looking to pick up an Always-Connected Windows 10 PC, Amazon is now going all-in with a dedicated section. The online retailer is now advertising the new batch of PCs with a banner across its homepage, which leads to a promotional page with links to the currently and soon to be available models (via OnMSFT).
The page briefly highlights all of the advantages of Always-Connected PCs, including their persistent LTE connection and excellent battery life. There are also quick buy and preorder links to the three models currently on the market, including the HP Envy x2, ASUS NovaGo, and Lenovo Miix 630.
- HP Envy x2 at Amazon ($999, available now)
- ASUS NovaGo at Amazon ($699, shipping on June 7)
- Lenovo Miix 630 at Amazon ($899, shipping June 22)
Amazon is also highlighting a Sprint promotion that includes free unlimited data with "select devices."
The current slate of Windows 10 on ARM PCs runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 platform, giving them a persistent data connection, instant-on capabilities, and battery life that can hit north of 20 hours. However, this is a long-term effort between Qualcomm, Microsoft, and hardware partners, so we're expecting to see even bigger leaps in performance as more models are introduced. That's particularly true if we eventually see PCs leveraging Qualcomm chips based on ARM's latest CPU design, which the company claims can hit laptop-grade performance.
In any case, if you're looking to pick up an Always-Connected PC now, Amazon has all models from HP, ASUS, and Lenovo available for purchase and preorder now.
