Intel has continued its attempts to coax the industry into CULV (consumer ultra-low voltage) so-called “ultra-thin” notebooks rather than netbooks, highlighting the shortcomings of the latter devices which, ironically, are generally based on the company’s own Atom N270 processor. Speaking during Intel’s earnings conference call on Tuesday, CEO Paul Otellini described ultra-thins as “an affordable notebook that has more functionality [than a netbook].”
