AMD's Ultrabook-Equivalent Platform Up To 20% Cheaper

[Winston_008]

Will these have the new amd lightning bolt tech in them?

Not right now, but in the future I would guess so.

More important than tablets IMO. Might even replace netbooks at some point. Assuming AMD's move drops the prices considerably.

It's not hard to be more important than Tablets. I think these AMD systems are great, just thought claiming Ultrabooks were the important market was a little questionable. I am hoping the performance of Laptops starts to come up in the next 2-3 years. I want to see Laptops that can accomplish more than playing 3-5 year old games and watching movies.

AMD's Ultrathin platform will have advantages over Intel's Ultrathin with regards to platform and component costs

Is it me or is there a small mistake in this sentence?

When i first read it (the day it was posted), i didn't notice, heh!

Nice! While AMD's CPUs can't keep up to Intel's high-end offerings, it's always good to have a choice in the segment where it really matters.
In the end, competition is the best thing that the consumer could wish for, and AMD's been doing a decent job of keeping the pressure up.

cant tell if trolling or really stupid.

Probably both I am just excited we can get an ultrabook thats not got some shitty intel GMA crap. Hopefully they will be cooled well enough to pull of 2.4-2.8ghz like the larger units.
