Digitimes report that Acer will launch a NVIDIA Tegra 2 netbook in the coming months. There will also be an Intel powered Ultrabook and tablets running Google Android 3.2 operating system.
Of course, the most unusual among these is the Tegra 2 powered netbook. While Tegra processors are quite common in tablets, there aren't many laptops with that processor. Although it is highly power efficient it can't run Windows or OS X operating systems at the moment. But this could change when MicroSoft launches Windows 8 which will be compatible with ARM-based processors. And when that happens we should see plenty of companies launching laptops with ARM-based processors.
But Digitimes report that the Acer Tegra netbook will launch in July. If that is indeed true, then it is likely to ship with Google Android. And we can't help but wonder if there is really demand for a laptop that can't run a desktop operating system.
