Nvidia and Microsoft to Debut First Windows PCs with Nvidia’s Arm Chips Nvidia’s long-anticipated move into PC processors is set to collide with Microsoft’s AI ambitions next week, as the companies prepare to unveil the first Windows laptops powered by Nvidia’s own Arm-based chips.

§Early rumors and rising expectations

Reports of Nvidia’s laptop processors first surfaced in 2023, with indications that major OEMs like Lenovo and Dell were preparing devices built around the new silicon. By 2024, Dell CEO Michael Dell was already hinting at the prospect of an “AI PC” powered by Nvidia, signaling that the project was moving from rumor to reality.

§Coordinated teasers ahead of Computex and Build

In late May 2026, momentum accelerated as Nvidia, Microsoft, and Arm simultaneously teased “a new era of PC” on social media, all pointing to Computex in Taipei, where Nvidia is scheduled to deliver a keynote. The event is widely expected to feature the announcement of Nvidia’s Arm-based N1 and N1x laptop chips, described as “the world’s worst kept secret.”

§First Nvidia-powered Windows PCs

Days later, reporting confirmed that Nvidia is expected to debut “the first Windows computers that use its chips as the main processor,” with systems coming from Microsoft’s Surface line and partners including Dell. The joint reveal is slated to span both Computex in Taiwan and Microsoft’s Build developer conference in San Francisco, underscoring the strategic importance for both companies.

§A new AI and competition play for Windows on Arm

For Microsoft, the launch offers a “second chance” at its AI PC strategy after its earlier Copilot+ PC push was marred by delays and security concerns around the Recall feature. For the broader ecosystem, Nvidia’s entry into Windows on Arm is poised to end Qualcomm’s exclusive license for Windows 11 on Arm, a shift seen as “good news for laptop competition,” even as Qualcomm seeks to keep low-cost devices viable with its Snapdragon C platform.
