Intel is still actively bringing the new generation dual-core Atom N550 processors to the line of compact laptops and netbooks. However, the performance of the new Atom chip, which is 1.5GHz more than the single-core Atom chip used in recent netbooks, also means that its price is about 11 to 22 USD higher. According to DigiTimes report. The increased cost of producing a netbook will make the line between this laptop and low-cost CULV-based laptops slimmer than ever.

If the information from DigiTimes is correct, Intel is likely to "die" of laptops using the Celeron Ultra Low Voltage processor. In other words, the new Atom chip will host the current low-cost laptop line. This also means users will not be able to find laptops running CULV chips for only about $ 400 in the near future.

Two makers of Acer and Asus computers are now offering devices running Atom N550 chips such as Aspire One D255 and Asus Eee PC 1015N launched around August. At this point, consumers will be tested on the fate of the cheap CULV laptop through its policies.
