The arrival of Nvidia's ARM-based laptops might take longer than anticipated.

      A recent leak suggests that the arrival of Nvidia's ARM-based laptops may be delayed due to lingering software issues.

      Laptops powered by Nvidia’s ARM chips have been anticipated for quite some time. Rumors have been circulating for over a year, and a recent report indicated that the first units might launch as early as Q1 2026. However, a newer leak implies that the timeline may extend longer than initially thought.

      According to information from leaker Moore’s Law is Dead (via Notebookcheck), the delays are attributed to ongoing software and compatibility problems impacting Nvidia’s chips. This situation is reportedly exacerbated by Microsoft's slow efforts to ensure that the Nvidia N1X platform operates effectively with Windows.

      Consequently, the timeframe for the debut of Nvidia's first ARM laptops now seems to be pushing past Q1 2026. Current speculation suggests a release could occur in Q2 or summer of 2026, while models powered by the N1X chipset might not arrive until August.

      Several manufacturers, such as Dell and Lenovo, are preparing to launch laptops with Nvidia N1X and N1V chips, with various leaks emerging in recent months. However, none of these devices have been officially announced yet, reinforcing concerns that the platform is not quite ready for launch.

      Compatibility continues to be a significant obstacle for Windows on ARM.

      This delay highlights the broader issues facing Windows on ARM. While recent laptops built on Snapdragon processors have shown notable enhancements in performance and efficiency, challenges related to software optimization and driver support persist. Nvidia’s entry was expected to boost adoption, but ongoing platform-related problems seem to be hindering progress.

      For Nvidia, the N1X represents an essential aspect of its expansion beyond GPUs. Thus, a postponed launch might be preferable to releasing products filled with bugs, as initial impressions could heavily influence buyers’ perceptions of Nvidia’s ARM chips.

      Without an official timeline, it's challenging to ascertain when these devices will reach the market. Until Nvidia or its partners provide a formal announcement, the details from the leak should be regarded cautiously, as plans may change if software issues are resolved.

      There is an unusual job site that allows AI agents to hire humans for tasks.

      Thousands of individuals have already registered to work for AI agents.

      A new type of work platform has surfaced on the internet, disrupting the conventional model in a surprising way. In this scenario, AI agents are employing humans and compensating them for completing real-world tasks instead of the other way around. The platform, known as RentAHuman, was started by Alexander Liteplo, a crypto engineer associated with UMA Protocol. “When your AI agent needs to hire someone for an IRL task, it’s as simple as one MCP call,” wrote Liteplo.

      Google’s ambitions for Android PCs may encounter further delays.

      Project Aluminium is facing timing, partner, and policy issues before any products ship.

      Last year, news emerged regarding Google’s development of a new line of Android PCs utilizing a novel operating system referred to as Aluminium OS. Additionally, it was indicated that these PCs might feature a stripped-down version of the Pixel Camera app. However, their actual release might take longer than anticipated. As reported by The Verge, an in-depth analysis of Google’s internal Project Aluminium suggests the Android-based PC operating system is not nearing launch.

      While Google has discussed merging Android and ChromeOS into a single, cohesive platform, court documents and internal timelines hint that a full public launch could be delayed until 2028, with limited testing possibly commencing sooner. The delay isn't purely technical; it is also strategic. Google must still determine how an Android PC OS will coexist with ChromeOS, which currently powers millions of Chromebooks, especially in educational and business environments. Furthermore, ChromeOS is unlikely to be phased out anytime soon.
