AMD introduces an 18mm thick laptop using APU Trinity

AMD is preparing ultrathin ultrathin laptops that can compete with Intel Ultrabooks.

It is said that Ultrathin laptops have better graphics performance and longer battery life. The 18mm-thick reference Ultrathin laptop AMD introduced recently was built by Compal, using the next-generation APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) code-named Trinity of AMD. Trinity will be released later this year.

AMD said that by the middle of this year, Trinity's thin and light laptops will cost between $ 600 and $ 800. With the current price of 900 USD or even double that of Ultrabook, AMD's Ultrathin laptop can help buyers save significantly.

AMD also promises, Trinity-based laptops will " compete " best (obviously with Ultrabooks), with 50% better graphics performance and more than 12 hours of battery life. New chips will double energy efficiency compared to AMD's existing Llano chips.
