The NovaGo presented by Asus runs Windows 10 on ARM and provides Gigabit LTE speeds thanks to the built-in 4×4 MiMO antennas. It sports both embedded SIM functionality and a Nano SIM tray, which can be used to add normal SIM cards as they are used in mobile phones.
The Windows 10 on ARM which will come preinstalled on the NovaGo is the stripped down Windows 10 S editon. Like on the x86-versions of the Windows 10, an update to Windows 10 Pro will be provided.
Asus says the NovaGo thanks to the energy-efficient ARM-chipset will be capable of 22 hours of video playback and over 30 days of connected standby. Windows Ink, Windows Hello and Cortana will also be supported via Windows 10 on ARM. There will be two models – a base unit with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage for US $599 and a 8GB version with 256GB storage for US $799. A release date was not mentioned at the event. Asus promised , however, to offer the NovaGo in 7 different markets, including US, the UK, France, Germany and China.
