| Intel readying new chips for inexpensive ultraportables. |
|
Anonymous writes "Intel reaffirmed on Friday that it was readying new ultra-low-voltage chips, due in the second quarter, for inexpensive ultraportable laptops.
The company will ship the ULV chips as part of its Montevina Plus mobile laptop platform, an updated version of the existing Montevina platform, said Connie Brown, a company spokeswoman.
The chips could go into thin and small laptops that provide full PC functionality but are cheaper than existing ultraportable laptops, which are generally priced above US$1,500. "

| Inside the MacBook Air: The solid-state drive option |
|
Anonymous writes "When it comes to storage, the newly unveiled MacBook Air offers an 80GB, 4,200-rpm Parallel ATA hard drive as part of its standard configuration. However, that's not the only option -- would-be MacBook Air buyers can also order the laptop with a 64GB solid-state drive (SSD).
