Intel Corp doesn’t seem to be in mood to leave any stone unturned towards re-strengthening its efforts in the production of notebooks, whose market is now experiencing difficulties owing to the unprecedented upsurge in the demand for tablet PCs.
Website Digitimes, citing sources in the field of notebook manufacturers, reports that Intel is planning to enter in partnership with a number of electronics manufacturers, including ASUStek Computer and Acer, to start manufacturing netbooks that are priced sub $ 200 for the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe markets.
With regard to markets in Western Europe, USA and China, Intel will continue to increase its efforts to producing a variety of models based on the platform Cedar Trail-M with the use of new technology Wireless Display (WiDi), which enables wirelessly streaming of video from the netbook to HDTV screen. Depending on the configuration, prices of these netbooks will be in the range of $ 299-599.
The devices priced at $ 199 will run the operating system MeeGo. Intel, as sources report, is currently engaged in developing region specific applications for it. Engineering samples of the new netbook models have supposedly already been demonstrated to Intel partners. It is expected that ASUStek Computer, Acer and more Chinese companies will begin releasing new products during the second half of this year.
