AMD Jaguar analysis

I agree that Jaguar seems to belong in tablets instead of netbooks.
But if I'm not mistaken, it was envisioned to be placed in Hybrid systems... basically, on the go, it's a tablet, but when at home, you connect it to the keyboard section that should boost its performance.

Wouldn't it be simpler to stick it into the tablet so that when you are on battery, you maximize battery life and when you connect it to the mains (at home for example) or a wifi power interface you get maximum performance on demanding things?

 

...Mm. I had a smartphone attached to a bluetooth keyboard 10 years ago. Worked well.

Ten years later, almost all phones have duplo buttons, batteries that last three hours (outside tegra) and can only access documents uploaded in the cloud.

But the capability to make tiny computers with full OSes that fit in your pocket, lasts a week, with an hdmi out and a bt hub to use in the office.. I mean, the tech exists.

 

Hey guys, seem that everyone here missed this beautiful quad-core A6 Kabini notebook from Samsung: the Ativ Book 9 Lite.
Basically a 13,3'' ultrathin with an SSD installed. The touch display resolution is still 1366x768, but excluding that it's beautiful and the same chassis design than their top of the line Ativ Book (which comes with a Retina display and aluminum body). Don't understand why they didn't put a 1600x900 display on it at least.

This one seems to be the most promising Kabini notebook. Much better than that HP junk. Especially because it includes an SSD already! Lets hope that the price is adequate. At most 600$, 500$ seems the price point to hit.

 

The 11.6" Temash HP and Acer V5 seem decent enough, however I wonder why they couldn't have used the Kabinis instead?

Sure Samsung's ATIV Book Lite looks great but will Samsung actually use Kabini or end up with Temash like everyone else?

Battery life in these types of netbooks so far hasn't shown to be that great, 3-4 hrs realistically. I'm thinking HP's will fair a bit better.

Just no 15.6"/17.3" Temash/Kabini monstrosities please!!!

I dont like netbooks. this is a perfect for hybrids, convertibles or docked, I have to agree with deks on this one

 

And here is the type of crapbooks that OEMs loooove to push with AMD APUs.
Seriously, screw Toshiba and Gateway!

The Gateway starts at $399. It has an AMD A4-5000 quad core Kabini clocked at 1.5GHz, it comes with 15.6 inch screen, 4GB DDR3L memory, 500GB hard drive and Windows 8.
Toshiba has two similar models for $479 and $499 and they both come with the same 1.5GHz clocked Kabini A4-5000, 17.3-inch widescreen with 1600x900 resolution and this price makes it one of the more affordable 17-inch notebooks on the market. The Toshiba Satelite C750D-A7213 noetbook comes with 1TB 5400 HDD, DVD super multi drive, 6GB of memory, 2 USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0, multi card reader, LAN, HDMI, RGB and audio and microphone ports. It comes with a 6-cell battery rated at 48Wh and weighs 5.9 lbs (2.6 kg).

The Toshiba Satellite C550D-A5233 is 15.6-inch version based on the same A4-5000 APU, 6GB memory, but it cost some 20 bucks more which hardly makes any sense. It comes with an underwhelming 1366x768 display, 6-cell 48Wh and weighs 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg). It has all the ports you’d get on the 17.3-inch big brother and is ready to ship in three to five days.

Seriously them. I will never buy anything from these guys. The HP and Samsung may be plasticky and use low resolution displays but at least they are of the right size, and even have touch displays and in the Samsung case an SSD!
It's like they're actively sabotaging AMD.

 

...

Kabini...

On a 15.6" and 17.1"

And one of them weighs enough to handle an A10 + dedicated GPU.


That's like putting a Silvermont Atom in a 13" or 14" laptop... You just don't.

 

Garbage garbage garbage! I also wouldn't buy that trash. These OEMs are smoking some crack. I get it, Kabini is a low cost part but Toshiba and Gateway are just racing to the bottom to try and make money of the 15.6"-17.3" markets.

I guess for the average consumer they could care less because I'm sure Kabini would actually be plenty performance for light-medium use. But for us, trash. We'll once again vote with out wallets.

Temash and Kabini stand for ELITE MOBILITY!!! HELLO!? 15.6" and 17.3" laptops does not equate "elite mobility!" Tablets, convertibles, hybrids, netbooks and ultraportables do! Did these retarded OEMS not get the memo? Or are we seeing the end result of some backscene shenanigans from Intel?

HP, Acer and Samsung are looking like geniuses at this point.

Click the link for model numbers...

 

Did you guys miss the big AMD E350 notebooks? The new Kabini budget wonders are just the continuation of that.
