ITBusinessEdg: New Intel Sandy Bridge Processors Add Muscle To Laptops

New Sandy Bridge processors from Intel will make small business laptops much faster and also increase battery life, Paul Mah explains. He spotlights two of the first examples, one from Lenovo, one from Sony.


“New laptops with Intel’s speedier and more powerfully efficient Sandy Bridge processors are finally arriving. As expected, these laptops come equipped with superior battery performance while also offering newer peripheral interconnects such as USB 3.0. Predictably, the prices for non-Sandy Bridge laptops have also dipped, a fact that bargain-hunters will probably relish.

Based on the second-generation core processors from Intel, two particular models caught my attention: the Lenovo X220 and the refreshed Vaio S Series from Sony.”
