Thread: Intel releases low power chips for slim, not so heavier laptops

With the aspire of carry down the price of laptops, Intel on Monday launched a family of low-power processors for slim and light machines that might be more reasonable than conventional laptops.

The novel family of microprocessors will go keen on laptops around 1-inch (0.08 feet) thick with monitor sizes up to 13 inches, and offers longer battery life than normal laptops, which be likely to have monitor sizes more than 13 inches.

The laptops will weigh among two and five pounds and take Intel's new dual-core processors from the Core, Pentium and Celeron families.

These laptops fall below a group called ultrathin laptops, which are as moveable as Netbooks but deliver the performance to run most multimedia applications. And fill a power and presentation gap between Netbooks and the more luxurious conventional laptops.

Conservative laptops are frequently priced at more than 0 and are heavier, but deliver better presentation.

"You will see much more reasonable systems," said vice president and general manager of the computer client group at Intel in a Monday webcast to proclaim the chips.

Intel declined to offer estimated pricing for laptops with these chips, leaving it to the computer makers, who should make systems available in the next two weeks.

I hope we would see a much better system with the lighter weight and efficient performance in the near future.
