iPad Eats Into Notebook Sales

iPad is the hottest Christmas gift this season, but a group of companies are unhappy about it. Chip maker Intel and AMD are the feeling of pain eats iPad tablet in sales and consumer demand for notebook computers. “Represented the last quarter or two tablets by a disturbance in the notebook market,” Dirk Meyer, AMD president and CEO, told financial analysts Thursday. “If you are five people in the industry you ask five different answers as to what extent it was cannibalization of tablets with Netbooks or notebooks such as Lenovo Ideapad Y560d get.”

iPad Eats Into Notebook Sales

But the bottomline is that the iPad, the sale of laptops has been slaughtered. AMD is not alone in viewing the iPad as disruptive to the traditional laptop business. Earlier this week, Intel CEO Paul Otellini told analysts that the iPad will “probably” PC-notebook sales violated. In the long run, however, Otellini believes the iPad will help the category of consumer electronics like what netbooks. But there is a big difference. So far, the two large tablet IPAD Galaxy and the upcoming Samsung and Research In Play Tab Book don’t-use of motion-chips from the traditional PC chip manufacturer.

“Intel will launch the expectations to manage better to admit that iPad would cannibalize PC growth, but it was the event that it is positioned in other tablets made,” Mark Lipacis, an analyst at Morgan Stanley wrote in a research note. “We remain challenged, Intel-based non-Apple tablet, the meaningful revenue for Intel can find drive.”

Since Apple launched the iPad in April, the company has sold more than 3 million units, the category has a second life. Other companies like Dell, Samsung and RIM BlackBerry makers have announced new tablet, but the IPAD is the market leader for now. Meanwhile, the halo effect from the iPad PC sales for Apple has fired. Apple overhauled Acer become the number three PC maker in the U.S. in the last quarter, according to IDC.

“Apple’s growing influence on the PC market, particularly in the U.S., as the company has iPad had some negative effects on the mini-notebook market,” said Bob O’Donnell, IDC vice president for clients and displays. “But the halo effect of the device also helped drive Mac sales and the company moved into the number three in the U.S. market.” For AMD and Intel, which can not be good news. In contrast to the netbook category, which helped sales rise of chips for these companies, the explosive growth of tablets could reduce their influence, if not to jump on the trend.

And that is exactly what Intel hopes to do with his MeeGo operating system. Meego is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices, Intel co-developed with Nokia. A key executive departure messages or smartphone operating system is running will not be available until sometime next year has left Intel and Nokia are fighting to stay on course with Meego. But a German company WeTab provides a basis MeeGo tablet. Intel says more MeeGo tablets based on the market next year. Ultimately, tablets is “additive to the bottom line, not away from him,” Otellini said analysts. But if some Intel chip will soon market-based tablets, which may be at risk simply wishful thinking.

HyperMac has announced that they stop selling their external battery, power adapter with MagSafe adapter. After Sanho, the parent company of HyperMac the move in direct response to the complaint is filed against it by Apple. In their open letter, especially references robbed on the MagSafe brand HyperMac states: “As part of our ongoing comprehensive negotiations with Apple over a wide range of technologies and issues we have decided to sell Macbook stop charging cable and car charger November 2, 2010. ”

New MacBook Air Will Come soon

More rumors details of a new 11-inch MacBook Air are in. This time trickles, is the fairly extensive list of new features of Ex-Cult of Mac and Wired.com editor Leander Kahney boss and even includes some assumptions about the price. According to Kahney’s “well-placed source” there will be two versions of the new MBA announced next Wednesday, a newly designed 13.3-inch model, and a new 11.6-inch model. Both are faster and less under-powered as the current smooth-but-slow MacBook Air.

New MacBook Air Will Come soon

Here is the list: Using a larger battery 8-10 hours, which give similar to what had already claimed for the MacBook Pro. The case is thin, and replace the curves with a “boxier” unibody, the more the iPhone 4 as the old MBA. The lone USB port will be joined by another, on the other side of the machine, and I suspect that this means that the drop-down door can be ditched – it always seemed a bit awkward anyway. These ports are connected by a mini DisplayPort like on HP Pavilion MS225 All-in-One Desktop.

Internal RAM can be upgraded now, and the models with 2GB and 4GB, depending on size ship. The SSD will also be expandable, and storage can be extended with an SD card in a new slot on the right side of the machine. Kahney is skeptical of his sources reported pricing, the name of this machine is in direct competition with the MacBook. The figures are $ 1,000 for the 11-inch and $ 1,100 for the 13-inch model. This seems too low.

But what form factor? The Cult of Mac post, the mock-up, but I suspect that there may be more similar to an iPad connected with a keyboard. The current, full-size Bluetooth keyboard from Apple is aluminum about an inch and a half wider than the iPad, which has a 9.7-inch screen. Something of this size without the keyboard “screen” to other notebook keyboards from Apple would be to marry well with a larger screen iPad style. Another guess would be that it was not the SSD, but the storage is similar to that in the iPad, which currently maxes out at 64GB. Add an SD card and this is not a bad idea. True or false? We just wait until Wednesday and all will be revealed.
