What is it which make netbooks lack when compared to notebooks? It’s the processor correct? But certainly it’s one area netbooks are growing too, it won’t be too long before netbooks outplay notebooks.
After the initial success of Intel Atom based netbooks, Intel is planning to develop Dual core Atom processors. Intel is already in the process of launching dual core Atom processors in this quarter. These dual core chips will be used for netbooks as well as small desktops.
Currently 1.66 GHz is the frequency of the fastest Atom processor used in netbooks (or are there any other?). With the introduction of dual core chips, netbooks will perform faster, which will interest many more prospective netbook buyers for sure.
Netbooks were originally made for just ‘NET’, but certainly they are already used beyond just web surfing and emailing. Who will not be interested in a tiny notebook? Comfortable to carry around at more power backup?
Do you still believe that iPad can kill netbooks?
