Nufront ARM Powered Laptops

"out in 6 months" so where is it now?

[n15512]

prophecy: Arm architecture will dominate the pc world in the future and heres some reasons why,

1:low cost to manufacture

2:architecture can be licensed by competitors(no more locked markets like intel)

3:ARM has been the most used arch for years and constitutes the majority of microprocessor architectures worldwide already.

4:energy efficiency and thus lower core temperatures allowing greater scalability for overclockers.

Those are the most relevant facts. ARM will win. its inevitable...

[DJKloop]

there is also a multi processor chip that will support this called ' LEG', i hear its going to be expensive if you want both..........

[Ashertheawesome]

Can it run crisis??

[szymongruszczynski]

what's it's screen resolution? what's the max resoulution of external monitor?

[edilbertdonatus]

Why is it taking so long to release an ARMbook with Ubuntu? All I see is Android and it can never ever be a full fledged desktop OS!!! Ubuntu FTW!!!! :)

[Tome4kkkk]

Interesting! I've never heard of ARM nor Nufront, so I guess both companies need to send flowers to Canonical ;)

[beyetronic]

@Tome4kkkk

Actually, ARM have been making CPUs for devices such as phones and PDAs for years!

[bummers]

How can he play Q3A with a keyboard alone??? This is blasphemy!!!

[bummers]

Let's hope that Ubuntu on ARM will have proper (read: better) Power Management in place. It would be a joke if these ARM machines end up being power soakers.

[bummers]

How long will this be in the market?

eh, .... six months, within six months ...

An engineering team somewhere screams .... W T F

[macmini661]

LET'S CHECK THE BIG ONE!!!!!! :D

[hannahfontana69]

I'll buy one when Adobe fully supports Linux.

[LMB222]

Finally something other than the 33-year-old i386 architecture!

[bummers]

@LMB222 upboated! ... but technically, I think you are referring to the x86 or 8088 architecture that is 30+ years old.

[LMB222]

@bummers Sure, my mistake. i386 AFAIR dates to 1986, and i586 to the 90's. Then there's x86-64, yet another addition.

What I meant is that there's an alternative to an architecture that is full of caveats and requires a multitude of voltage supplies.

[ToXedVirus1]

12" ! create a 12" for gods sake! :D

awesome video though, covering 4 devices and all of them are awesome.

[ToXedVirus1]

12" ! create a 12" for gods sake! :D



[maison0blanche]

14"-er, you will be mine. Thanks for posting the video!

[TheRealPelana]

Does anyone knows how much does it cost?

[IAmTheLawpop]

@TheRealPelana

not likely any price is set yet being a prototype

one things clear they kick efika'a arse, its a shame they squandered their efika lead for so long, so we now have A9 dual and quad core coming out our ear's this year YAY

[MilesProwerFR]

Oooooooh nice

[1repoort]

Excellent, About bloody time too, We`ve been waiting for what seems like ages for decent ARM netbooks, Laptops and tablets to appear. Open the floodgates :-D

[roflschofel]

Nice that they are selling ARM netbooks with Ubuntu now.

[RangerDK21]

Quake2, triangles per second? Lol, so funny questions

[RangerDK21]

TN-screen sux

[attilatoth100]

My good old Asus laptop with a PIII Celeron@1.1GHz CPU runs the beasty OpenOffice fine on a well optimized Linux (Puppy), I do believe that new ARM processors can do better.

[juliobahar]

Correct me if I'm worng, these should be touch screens now.

[neuraxon77]

Please ask them to run the Phonorix Test Suite on it for benchmarking.

[rayman1104]

A Win key is excess! ;)

[velja27]

@rayman1104 No its not excess, for Linux at least. You can use it for various window manager functions, music player shortcuts, possibilities are endless :P

[Worfox13]

@rayman1104 No, it's called super key! D:

[ShpirtMan]

I can't say anything else… Fap fap fap fap…

[RTPSEV]

guys , stop LOR-ching!

;-)

it looks slow and it'll be slow for most apps

[attilatoth100]

@RTPSEV I kown time is money and the iMacPhoneBookPad is a lot faster and blahblah, but beside the wow factor does it really make difference that the load time of a website 5 seconds instead 1?

[rhobson]

@attilatoth100 think about that for a second: if on an iDevice a webpage load in one sec, and on these clonePads the same page loads in 5 secs, its FIVE times more. Think about how much time you'll lose waiting for something to happen on your clonePad in terms of days and weeks... ;)

[attilatoth100]

@rhobson Well, I usually READ web pages which you know takes much more time than hoping from pages to pages as tech bloggers do in their so called reviews. So for me wasting couple of seconds during loading of a page is totally irrelevant regarding usability of the device.

[deurkl]

That's extremely cool. ARM is the future!

[shaurz]

How many hours does the battery last when using wifi? Does it have a 3G module?

[supercoolguyT]

I really wan't that ubuntu laptop.

[kostbebix]

WANT!

[attilatoth100]

Nice!

[RTPSEV]

looks like a boring piece of plastic with some screen to show pics.

[GPEART1]

they look nice and lite!

less likely to drop it, and ubuntu! and android! nice.

[1110111011101110]

What's the price for these three?

[arthursucks]

I want an Arm laptop so bad. They're thing and get great battery life!
