Cheap Haswell Based Tablets And Notebooks Expected Around The Holidays

Cheap Haswell Based Tablets And Notebooks Expected Around The Holidays

The holiday season sees customers clamoring to get the best deals on the latest gadgets, tablets and notebooks are certainly on many shopping lists. This holiday season, customers might have a number of such device to choose from at a reasonable rate. Talking with analysts recently, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said that he expects manufacturers to release cheap Haswell processor powered tablets, notebooks and tablet/notebook hybrids around the holidays, which might be priced around $99, $299 and $349 respectively.

In the center of this year’s holiday PC lineup, Krzanich expects to see notebooks with touchscreen displays powered by Intel’s Haswell processors. According to Intel’s claims, Haswell processors offer 50 percent more battery life and double the graphics performance, at a relatively affordable price. OEMs benefit from this, which will ultimately allow them to manufacturer tablets that go for as low as $99 and notebooks with touchscreen displays for just $299. It remains to be seen just how many OEMs get their devices out in time for the holidays, a season where sales of Android and iOS mobile devices are particularly strong. $99 tablets might be able to put a dent into the consumer interest that almost similarly priced Android tablets rake in. The holiday season isn’t far off, so its only a matter of time before we see some of these new devices being announced.

    Intel Broadwell PC Chips Get Delayed

    Intel Broadwell PC Chips Get DelayedThe folks over at Intel have just confirmed that their brand new Broadwell PC chips, which we talked about might just make an appearance in future Surface devices, could be facing a production delay of up to three months. CEO Brian Krzanich claims that these next-generation processors will launch at the bare minimum, a quarter later than expected. This delay has been attributed to “technical difficulties”. The Broadwell PC chips were originally designated to take over the Intel Core i5 Haswell processors as the flagship CPU, where it will obviously be faster than before, and of course bring along with it a new level of energy efficiency that has not been seen before.

    Intel also hoped that their continuous refinements and upgrades would be able to move the PC and laptop markets along, resuscitating it to the “good old days”. After all, when the world of tablet PCs and smartphones became mainstream, the laptop and desktop markets started to see its sales figures drop, which is why getting the Broadwell PC chips out as soon as possible might just be the catalyst required to get things moving. Which is your main computing device of choice these days? Do yo tend to do more work on the tablet than on a notebook or desktop?
