 and here's a beautiful new ASUS ARM-powered Windows 10 laptop. So hi, so who are you? So I'm Andrew, I work for Qualcomm, and so we're showing all of the new Windows on Snapdragon devices. And this is a very cool, what's the size of the display right here? 13 inch? 13.3 inch. We have a full HD with a very nice touch experience very good keyboard and we can look around some ports right here, two USB 3 ports charger, HDMI outputs, SIM card slots, headset, connector, so it's like the basic stuff that people want for a laptop. Right, so since that it's that highly portable mobile professional type type device but and then in terms of user experience you're going to get similar experience to what you'd normally expect for performance for any thin light fanless design but then we have some really significant advantages. Fingerprint also? Oh I guess yeah fingerprint on there having to use that so I can tell you how well it works. So it's like totally integrated with all the security stuff you have on the Snapdragon, you have everything in there. So the security in this case is handled on the Windows side of things so it's the Windows and then of course it does use the chipset capabilities as well. So it's you know you were using all of the capabilities that you have from the Snapdragon 835 from the mobile space and then we add and then we bring the Windows 10 experience to that. And it's a very hardware accelerated everything is like super smooth already everything ready for shipping. Everything is very optimized yes so this this was announced in December that was the first time that anyone got their hands on to it so a lot of people got to test it out a little bit and see what they thought and their overall reviews have been very positive. And it flips as a 10 all the way around? Flips as 10 all the way around tablet mode in this direction. And it's good weight? Yeah it's really solid and stable. I've always liked the clamshell design myself because it's just more stable in your lap and then you can but then but then we also are there at the other tent mode type devices with the with the folding keep detachable keyboards and that stuff on there. This is a real laptop form factor and with the touch because people once they touch they kind of get used to it and they want to touch again and again. That's true and then if you don't have touch you can still touch them. That's been my experience as well like I'm just starting to use these devices that actually have touch in them and now I'm starting to poke everything in it. So when it launches when you get it right here does it show by default it's mostly it's going to be Windows 10S? So all three designs from ASUS, HP and Lenovo are launching with Windows 10S and then the idea there is that Microsoft is working really hard. They're big believers in the 10S platform. They want people to give it a shot see how they like it. If they can get everything they want out of the Microsoft Store then the 10S platform will be will be a more stable, secure, cleaner updates and installs. The App Store model, right? Right. It's the App Store model. Don't get any viruses, any... Yeah, it's secure, optimized and stable. If there's something that you absolutely have to have that's not on the Microsoft Store at this point in time, then you switch to 10 Pro. And then you install your app and then it's not it doesn't change it doesn't change the operating system. 10S, 10 Pro is the same operating system. It's just a matter of what of what you have access to for install. And so just kind of you're taking you're taking your security and performance into your own hands when you go 10 Pro. 10 Pro is every x86 32 bits is okay. Yep. Yeah, if you run it on there if it's if it's a if it's a Win32 application it'll run in emulation but Microsoft has done a really fantastic job with the emulation layer on the on the Snapdragon platform. And the result of that is that you actually the performance you really don't see any hit to the performance at all. It's great. I think this is really beautiful laptop and actually the price is quite good. Yeah, the price the price is good. It starts at $599 and that's for the the 4 gig RAM and then I forget what hard drive size. But then they have a second tier that goes that goes up from there. But it's still it's very affordable. And and the part of the marketing you're talking about crazy huge battery life just before actually it stopped. I was watching here it was playing a video for 20 hours and 37 minutes. Yeah, so we had a 1080p video and we we put the device on 50% brightness and just started looping a 1080p video and see how long it goes. We got over 20 hours with that and that's what we're quoting is over 20 hours battery life and and so and so asus you'll see similar numbers Lenovo similar numbers and then on top of on top of battery life you'll also see we have we have the integrated LTE so our our you know obviously we're coming from the smartphone space so our chips have LTE in them it doesn't take up any additional space on the PCB and you're getting that best LTE experience in the world with the Qualcomm modem and we think this will really change how people use their PC because when you're connected everywhere you're not having to jump from hot spot to hot spot and figure out where Wi-Fi is it's just like when you use your phone you're not you're not necessarily thinking is there Wi-Fi here you've got LTE you've got your data you've got your email your Facebook whatever it is you're trying to do it's already there we think people really are missing out by not treating their laptops the same way it's your bread and butter doing LTE kind of stuff right it's a Qualcomm specialty oh yeah it's something right yeah putting it right here and hopefully people are going to get it bundled right with their LTE subscriptions so yeah so I mean it'll be it'll be defined carrier by carrier retailer by retailer but all of those are being worked out now about how exactly they're incentivizing and supporting the LTE on the cellular plans the other thing that I should point out about how how we're bringing the cellular experience to the laptop is the is the active standby and the instant on so right now when my phone screen is blank we all know that my smartphone isn't actually shut down it's syncing with emails it's listening for phone calls it's getting text messages whatever it is that's going on my phone is aware of it and then it's instant on as soon as I'm ready it doesn't boot back up come out of hibernate and it's all ready to go that's another thing that we're bringing to the laptop experience the windows 10 experience is that as soon as you as soon as you open up the device it's been syncing and it's ready to go in theory you could have LEDs showing if you have a notifications or something yeah I mean you could pop in notifications sounds lights whatever it is because it's because it's aware yeah because it's aware of it it's behaving just like a cell phone in that way they could even have a tiny little display here or something sure kind of says hey uh you should you need to check your email and so that's that's one thing that we're looking forward to as this matures there's a lot of it's a lot of testing going on you know as you're seeing like how well does this stick this is first round of of devices we think is a huge advantage because the user experience in terms of performance is consistent with what people already know but then you add those 20 plus hours of battery life that active standby and cellular connectivity and the end result is that you've got something with significant advantages and what we're hoping to see over time is that devices start getting designed around what the snapdragon should really do because you don't need as thick of a device because you don't need to dissipate as much heat you can put larger batteries in because the pcb doesn't take up as much space and you can really think of it in a different way and start designing around that and so that's what we're really looking forward to as this evolves we really expect the pc space to start adapting to what we're really capable of and uh innovation is going to start happening in this space it has to it has to i mean when you have a lack of competition innovation stops and so this is where we're starting to kind of change things up a little bit in the pc space let's mix mix it up a little bit let's let's think about it differently let's bring some of the advantages that we've been developing from the cellular space put it into the laptop and see where it goes and see where we can go from there i think it's good for everyone i think even even our competitors are going to have to start thinking again about how they're designing their processors and their modems and their devices so that they can do the types of things that we're bringing forward because we think there's a whole lot of value to it they're already trying to to uh react to what you're doing i think yeah we're just here you have a demo that's looping that's showing uh that basically all the stuff people usually do is just a full speed yeah so what we did is this is actually this isn't a video this is a recording of keyboard and mouse so we recorded keyboard and mouse and then because we couldn't move it fast enough we sped up the mouse and keyboard even faster and so we've got it very confidently moving through running real apps yes is running real apps they're all open at the same time we're copying and pasting in between and we're browsing the web playing video and this is to show just the user experience this is basically what could be considered full speed because a user can't expect anything faster than that no i mean i can't i can't even move the mouse that fast you're talking about benchmarks no i mean talking about something that's irrelevant essentially i mean benchmarks benchmarks have their place in some very specific things when you're trying to compare two devices on one one very specific thing but when you're starting to look at the overall experience and how people actually use the device the benchmarks really start to fade in importance they don't account for modem they don't account for battery life and and and whether something takes you know one second versus 1.1 seconds i mean that's a 10 but doesn't really matter to the person or would they rather have 20 hours of battery life and always be connected on lte the app is already pre run before you even click because it's smart you know it's usually sometimes apps are kind of like like chrome which is on the loads websites before you even click on it right yeah intelligence intelligent i mean this is this is like the old the old saying you you work smarter not harder so efficiency and intelligence are really the hallmarks of our platform so right here you're showing that people don't want to play they will just be able to play right i mean now of course this this type of device no matter who makes the processor it's not going to be your gaming rig that you hook up your vr headsets and do the craziest things in the world and this is the Lenovo this is the the Lenovo mix 630 right so similar similar four-factor to what hb has done sort of something a little bit different a little bit of difference in the keyboard but you know similar design also using snapdragon 835 and everything is through the type c right here it does it does an hdmi output yep it has a usb controller we've got it connected to just a little a little adapter that has the usb the power and the hdmi just all running through it yeah probably it's a display port over usb c to hdmi through the dongle that that type of setup yeah but then this is all of through type c but this design here has right this one has this one has more of the full-size ports snapdragon 835 does not have issues with the number of ports and stuff you can do like you can do you can do two full-size usb 3 that's pretty awesome on uh and i mean really that's that's not a matter of of hardware support it's a matter of design decisions you can make a thinner device if you have fewer ports but then you have fewer ports so it's it's the trade offs that they look into so so all these they look like final they look like ready so how soon is so we don't have we don't have announced chip dates for many of the manufacturers yet the asus and hp are are expected to be earlier they were announced sooner but they'll be q1 this year and then and then we'll wait and see when lenovo announces their launch dates and all of these have 1080p panels that helps with your battery life right versus 4k definitely so i mean you could like our chips are obviously capable of handling 4k we've been talking about 4k on the mobile space for a long time 835 is no exception to that but but 1080p is is a good sweet spot between between pixel density on the smaller displays like this and and then and then efficiency and cost frankly i mean you could have a 4k panel but your battery life will go down on any on any processor architecture and your battery life will also go down and i say did i already say did i say battery life twice cost goes up battery goes down those are the two things and i think 845 was announced at the event of december right right and it's probably going to be a fit with this platform too yeah so we well i mean obviously right that's that's the announcement right and so this is a this is a multi-generational multi-platform endeavor with us and microsoft this is not just we're going to try it once and see how it goes we're committing to you know a long-term thing this is this we're going to we're going to take this as far as we can it definitely doesn't stop with a 35 and that means a bump again in performance oh it's only going to go up it's only going to go up from here of course yeah so i mean the things that we haven't announced is 845 is obviously our next chip on the mobile space whether it's that specific chip or whether we do anything different that's what we haven't announced yet but we're definitely taking the platform forward from here and behind you there was some animation saying 5g so that's definitely going to be there too i guess 5g is going to be everywhere right 5 5g 5g i mean 5g the overall timeline we're looking at deployments in 2019 uh that's that's when network and devices will all be starting to come together and we'll start seeing that so if it's called 855 or 900 or whatever it's called it's probably going to run windows 10 too oh yeah yeah yeah we're going to keep on we're going to keep on going with this cool
