Laptops featuring Nvidia’s ARM-based chips may finally hit stores near you in Q1 2026

Nvidia aims to enter premium Windows-on-ARM laptop market with N1X chips in Q1 2026, followed by N2 chips in 2027 amid memory shortages and rising component costs.

  • This year, DigiTimes sources say NVIDIA's N1X-powered laptops could reach retail buyers in the first quarter of 2026, signaling an imminent launch.
  • Planned product demos at Computex 2025 were delayed, sources say, reflecting Microsoft OS timelines, NVIDIA chip redesigns, and political and economic factors affecting the September launch window.
  • Leaks point to Lenovo and Dell as early partners for NVIDIA's ARM laptops, with N1 and N1X positioned as premium platforms and N1X's graphics core count likened to an RTX 5070.
  • Market watchers say NVIDIA's entry may alter the Windows on Arm competitive landscape, but the ongoing RAM and storage crisis and falling PC sales could challenge OEMs and consumers on pricing and demand.
  • Three consumer N1 variants are expected in Q2 2026, followed by N2 silicon in Q3 2027, while reports suggest a possible desktop variant as the lineup expands.
