Intel is now bending towards thin and light notebooks, and is seriously considering to fix the cost under $350 price for netbooks, which it describes as “companion” devices that offer a basic media experience and are intended for occasional use.

The thin and light notebook are the ones to be focused, and are planned to be priced between the range of $450 to $1100. These thin notebook will come with screen sizes over 10 inches. Currently, the cheapest CULV models will cost anywhere from $550 and $700. Intel considers these notebooks as primary PCs and  very versatile, and avail you a rich multitasking and Internet experience.

I am personally not that drawn towards these ‘thin and light’ notebooks and I would better carry my laptop instead of carrying of anything that is above 10-inches. Also, we are sick of Intel considering the Intel Atom platform ‘weak’. Netbooks can do much more than Intel think. Perhaps, folks at Intel have not used any model other than the EEE 701 and that is why they think that they come with cramped keyboard and have pathetic battery life. On the other hand, most of the modern netbooks come with good spacious keyboard and offer incredible battery life.
