Intel will help companies to create cost ultrathin laptops
Intel and computer makers are faced with some difficulties in creating models of laptops, the compactness of the model MacBook Air, but the cost to the consumer less than $ 1,000. In this case, processor manufacturer intends to make the case to advise of fiberglass, not plastic. It is about the models in an aluminum casing is not at all - all attempts to company Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba to create a thin aluminum laptop ended not in failure, but the cost of such devices on the market has stepped over the sacred $ 1,000. Intel is actively promoting the material of fiberglass, which should be at equal weight and strength to cost less than half aluminum and magnesium alloys. Unofficially, it is reported that an agreement on cooperation in the field with Intel signed an Acer, ASUS and Lenovo. While ASUS has already UX21 model with aluminum casing, but its value does not fit the stated scope and all the other counterparts. The idea of a budget notebook, the thickness of the body which would be less than 20 mm, but which would at the same time had high autonomy and processor performance has been generated by the desire to reduce the decline of the notebook market after the iPad tablet and the like. Nevertheless, to date no company in the world did not succeed in creating a device similar to MacBook Air. Although, a number of very successful models in slim and with longer battery life, but no mass-dimensional characteristics, nor particularly the price of such laptops do not allow competitors to consider their plates.
