The Mobinnova elan is known for being one of the first laptops based on Nvidia’s Tegra platform. We have been hearing about this device for some time, but now more details have emerged. The Tegra platform essentially consists of an ARM-based processor and some high performance graphics. The ARM processors are highly power efficient and Nvidia graphics are good at handling HD video. As a result of this the laptops running on Tegra platform will be able to run for 5 to 10 hours playing HD video.
The company has not yet announced the price or launch date of Mobinnova elan. But sources claim that the device will be renamed Mobinnova Beam in the US. It will run on Windows CES, which is a low power operating system capable of running ARM processors.
The Mobinnova Beam can easily decode 720p video. It is expected to be available at a subsidized price in the US if you purchase it with a 3G data plan from a wireless service provider.
