Intel-powered Android notebooks

Intel-powered Android notebooks 

Android notebooks for as low as $200 (Rs 10,880 approx). Dadi Perlmutter, Intel's executive vice president and chief product officer, told CNET that notebooks carrying a price tag around $200 will predominantly be Android devices equipped with Intel's Atom mobile processors.

However, there is no further information about these Android notebooks. It is unclear how they'd look like. Seemingly, they are expected to be convertible type devices, the hybrid trend that we saw at the popular tech shows earlier this year. Perlmutter expects the PC market to pick pace during the second half of the year as it heads into the year 2014.

Windows 8 PCs will carry such a low price largely depends on Microsoft, disclosed Perlmutter. He further added, "We have a good technology that enables a very cost-effective price point. The price of Windows 8 laptops depends on how Microsoft prices Windows 8. It may be a slightly higher price point."
