Asus TP370QL NovaGo

Overview

As the first of Microsoft and Qualcomm’s “always-connected PCs,” the NovaGo is an intriguing demonstration of the platform’s potential and challenges. Speedy, constant internet connectivity and a long-lasting battery are the ASUS NovaGo’s greatest assets. But with a dim screen and limited app compatibility, it just isn’t capable of being your primary computer.
