Comments on: HP Wants Atom in Bigger Notebooks. So What’s the Problem? http://gigaom.com/mobile/hp-wants-atom-in-bigger-notebooks-so-whats-the-problem/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:38:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: timothyt http://gigaom.com/mobile/hp-wants-atom-in-bigger-notebooks-so-whats-the-problem/#comment-410582 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 09:22:12 +0000 http://jkontherun.com/?p=27012#comment-410582 I wish they would develop a low powered processor (perhaps this article on the atom in a 13.3 notebook chassis would work) that just shuts up and stops turning the fan on and off, faster and slower, on and off. I go back to my desktop often and it’s so nice to have the computer make the same humming noise for once. Put that atom in, stick on a huge fan and I’m good.

Also the Z series of atoms, the MID Silverthorne ones, only have gma500 graphics. Not even enough to run Aero.

And yeah, that 1GB limit is ridiculous, turns me off from the Dell Mini 12.

To cross state boundaries, they’ll have to use an SUV.

Intel didn’t put restriction on the Atom Z processor because they intentionally crippled them to a max RAM of 1GB.
