I'm willing to wager that this thing will flop. Intel just doesn't get consumer products and design. Every one of their consumer efforts has been a gigantic failure. They should stick to what they do best: processors! Any dime they waste on this will mean that they're losing valuable R&D for stuff that actually brings them money. They should produce chips and allow their OEMs to innovate and produce products.
@Figaro: Intel doesn't get consumer products and design?? Who do you think came up with one of the first production MP3 players, mobile laptop, netbook...Intel does not intend to mass produce consumer goods. They provide a concept like they did on the previously mentioned products to lead companies to mass produce. Then they sell the chips to run them.
Another day of yelling heads on C-N-B-WWE, another Valleywag post.
Seriously, tho', Owen, the other commenters have a point. Maybe it's time for you guys to do a VidBlog special and go on the attack. The whole GE "news is entertainment" hegemony needs to be taken down a notch, not that you asked.
@unclevanya: "coy blogging".. that's a bit repetitious, isn't it?
I'm sure he deserves all of whatever you're dishing out here. But you two aren't Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. If you have something to accuse him or CNBC of, why not stop this coy blogging and take it to the mainstream media, or an authority?
It's like the same article is being reposted every two days on this topic.
@unclevanya: So you're saying I should close up shop and just feed tips to the newspapers? Honey, if you haven't noticed, the exact opposite is what's actually happening.

I would like to see if they can beat AMD in graphics like they did with the i7 in the CPU market.

AFAIK, the first laptop per se was the first Powerbook, all the ones before it being merely portable computers.
