Intel, The Atom, And The Netbook Market


The Atom chip is, for the moment, in almost every netbook around. It is easy to forget that the Atom is a mere six months old. Pann’s reluctance is sensible, in this light, but as for netbooks not being used by owners on a daily basis, I’m skeptical. After all - are netbooks not the ultimate tools for commuters?
To expect an owner of a netbook to use it as a replacement for his main working machine is unrealistic - netbooks were never meant for that. Mobile users will use netbooks for short amounts of time - in the train, while on break, waiting at a bus stop - which conforms well to Pann’s “fine for an hour” statement
