LAS VEGAS--PCs on your coffee table, playing Monopoly. Super-thin ultrabooks. Voice and gestural computing. Intel showed these and more at their CES 2013 press conference.
Fourth-gen Intel Core processors aren't on their way immediately, but at this year's
CES Intel was ready to demonstrate how their "Haswell" code-named chips will make
Windows 8 devices of tomorrow even thinner and smaller than now...if you're in need of that.
Haswell is part of Intel's road-map for computers into 2014, and the biggest gains could be in battery life and extra features normally not seen in laptops. In a demo on-stage, a prototype 11-inch reference device called "Northcape" looked a lot thinner than existing ultrabooks, and Intel claims 13 hours of battery life in this sized ultraportable.
Intel also demonstrated table-top computers, some of which are here already in devices like the Vaio Tap 20. Bringing the family together over large touch-screen devices has been kicking around since Microsoft's tabletop Surface, and the real question about such devices would be how much they'd cost.
More to come...
