Dell, Lenovo and Samsung Windows RT Machines Are Coming
Windows RT will be available on new machines from a handful of vendors
Microsoft isn't the only OEM that will be delivering a Windows on ARM tablet/PC. Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung all have Windows RT systems coming to market, too, Microsoft officials said in an August 13 blog post on the "Building Windows 8" blog. When Mary Jo Foley asked Microsoft officials back in late June for a list of vendors making Windows RT tablets and PCs, they declined to provide one.
According to Mike Angiulo, the vice president of our Ecosystem and Planning team, there will be more details about PC manufactures. They will be unveiling their products by the approaching of the Windows 8 and Windows RT launch. (Microsoft is planning to have its Surface RT system available on October 26, but Mary Jo Foley does not know exact dates for the other OEMs.) Microsoft also shared some rough guidelines about battery life expectations for Windows RT machines. When a Windows RT PC is not in use (on connected standby), it will not require a battery charge for days. Windows RT machines' will have the ability to deliver "all day battery life" on "thin and light" machines.
