Qualcomm outlines Windows on ARM PC release via various US carriers

Windows On Arm devices are going to be laptops and 2-in-1's capable of running Windows 10 just like Intel-powered devices but they will have smaller form factors as well as vastly improved battery life thanks to the ARM architechture which have been developed for smartphones and tablets. Another aspect of Windows on ARM is the always connected aspect since cellular capability is on board with these devices.  

Qualcomm revealed that Windows on ARM will release via 14 carriers (none of which are in Canada) and will feature three models.
