The first 5G networks are here in several markets, including the US, Korea, and Europe, and buyers already have access to a bunch of exciting 5G smartphones, including the Galaxy S10 5G and OnePlus 5G.

But there’s another type of 5G product that will soon launch, and that’s the ultraportable Windows 10 PC that comes with always-on 5G connectivity.

Qualcomm made the announcement at Computex, together with Lenovo. The two computing giants have partnered to make the world’s first 5G PC that will hit stores at some point next year.

Dubbed “Project Limitless” for the time being, the notebook is powered by Qualcomm’s newest Windows platform, the Snapdragon 8cx, which packs a 7nm processor as well as a 5G modem.
