Intel CEO: Slim notebooks make up for netbook flaws

Beijing time July 16 afternoon news, according to foreign media reported today, Intel CEO Otellini Paul Otellini in the company's earnings analyst conference call, said the cheap ultra-thin notebook can provide users with netbooks do not have features.　　Recently, Intel has repeatedly reiterated this view on various occasions. Intel is trying to "penetrate" the netbook market with ultra-thin notebooks.　　Slim Notebook configuration Intel Ultra low Voltage (ULV) processor, netbook configuration Intel Mobile processor. He notes that slim notebooks make up for the drawbacks of netbooks, "when you play 3D games on netbooks or run Office software, users will find it slow, not only because of the low performance of the processor, but also the overall design of the netbook."　　If you need a notebook that is both light and thin, the user's choice will be no longer limited to netbooks, but also include a cheaper, more powerful ultra-thin notebook. Consumer awareness of the high price "preconceptions" of netbooks and ultra-thin notebooks poses difficulties for the positioning of ultra-thin notebooks. "Our slim notebooks are mistaken for netbooks by many users, which are similar in size to netbooks but have much higher processing power," said Kelt Reeves, Falcon Northwest, the PC maker. "Windows 7 does little to eliminate misconceptions about ultra-thin notebooks.　　"Windows 7 can even run on a 199-dollar netbook," says Collins Stewart analyst Assac Kuma of the UK investment Bank, "and Intel still faces a lot of difficulties in helping people understand the positioning of slim notebooks and netbooks correctly."　　Otellini also talked about the problem of netbooks encroaching on the traditional notebook market, "We believe that netbooks can only nibble less than 20% of the traditional notebook market." He points out that netbooks will increasingly become 3G Internet terminals sold by mobile operators, "and I think netbooks sold by mobile operators will account for a significant portion of the market."
