Some might argue that ASUS already has an ARM-powered Android laptop in its inventory due to the Eee Pad Transformer , but the company’s now been identified as planning a more spacious 13-inch notebook device, whose power and pricing could well be much more attractive than the Transformer’s. We should always naturally be wary of the source here, DigiTimes having a record that’s as patchy because the grass at Wimbledon after the primary week’s play, however the Taiwanese rumormonger says ASUS has already made launch plans for this 13-incher and can be using “NVIDIA’s processor” inside. What’s intriguing this is that during the paragraph immediately preceding that revelation, DigiTimes mentions quad-core ARM SOCs — of which the only nearest to release is NVIDIA’s Kal-El . Given the non-specificity of which NVIDIA processor we will expect, Kal-El’s projected August release date, and the undeniable fact that the chip has already figured in an ultraslim Windows 8 prototype laptop , we’d say there’s quite a lot of circumstantial evidence to stimulate dreams of quad-core Android laptop action. Additionally, DigiTimes points out that multiple vendors are gunning to give ARM-powered notebooks with sub-$299 price points, aiming to gobble up market share with all-time low pricing. Bring ‘em on, we are saying.
