The CEO of AMD, called Dirk Meyer was talking about netbooks and said that this term will disappear with time. “The distinction between what is and what is NETBOOK a notebook will be,” he said.
He explained that as currently configured technically ultra consumers do not have a good experience with a PC, especially when we talk about graphics and audio and video. He added that notebooks and ultra ultra will be much more powerful than what the netbooks (logic, why are not netbooks and notebooks).
Perhaps Meyer say this because the market for netbooks is clearly dominated by Intel (the atoms are almost in every one of them) not because they really consider that the term will disappear.
For my part I do not think so. 2008, although the year was the emergence and the buzz of the ultra, the 2009 comes with new submissions and truly remarkable improvements (such as X-Slim MSI). For me the term “NETBOOK” and “ultra” there for awhile.
