Interested in a new mini-computer like a netbook? Wondering exactly what a netbook is and what you'd gain and have to give up over a notebook? We can help. At Intel Developer Forum 2008,
Windows 7 Pro, Intel manager Mooly Eden gave us Intel's perspective on the question.
On October 21, 2008 Intel Mobile Platforms Group manager Mooly Eden delivered the second day keynote address at the Intel Developer Forum in Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan). His address was entitled “Expanding the Frontiers of Mobility.”
One of the many interesting things that Mr. Eden said was that although many industry experts predicted that 2009 will be the year that the crossover happens and more notebooks than desktop PCs are sold, 2008 is the year that Intel will sell more mobile processors than desktop processors. Part of that rapid growth in the mobile field was due to the advent of the Atom-powered mini-computers, the netbooks.
Mooly Eden also offered a look at the netbook vs. notebook question from Intel’s perspective on the past,
Windows 7 Download, present, and future of mobile computing.
