Touch laptops will be cheaper thanks to Intel's new processor line.
Intel's chief financial officer, Stacy Smith, also confirmed that the Intel Bay Trail will be a great product for the low-cost segment as well as providing much more powerful performance than its competitors. Intel has also stated that this is the most powerful processor platform in the Atom generation ever updated. Bay Trail helps manufacturers launch laptops at only 8 mm thin, battery life all day and double the performance.
Although neither Stacy Smith nor Paul Otelini mentioned the screen size, at such prices, products are more likely to have small screens.
The competition in the segment from 200 to 300 USD now has the appearance of many Android tablets like Nexus 7 or other tablets based on Qualcomm and Nvidia processors.
