Could the Appetite for Netbooks Curb PC Innovation?

by Rahul Sood on January 22, 2009

n503719626_209210_9701-1 I have been Twittering lately and watching the posts go by on Netbooks. Amazing how many people are excited about these products, because believe it or not the original intent of the Netbook is far from the current landscape. On top of the Twitters, I get many emails and Facebook messages, comments, etc on whether or not Voodoo will ever launch a Netbook.

Needless to say we’re in a very unique time in the market.

Check out this article and feel free to comment and let me know if a Voodoo Netbook would be of interest to you.

Actually, netbook with dual-core Intel Atom or VIA Nano (which dual-core variant should show up soon) based on NVIDIA Ion chipset is very fascinating image. That also might work very well with Voodoo brand.

NVIDIA Ion???

A netbook that works like a Pc. Seems Perfect.

A Voodoo netbook is almost like an oxymoron. Netbooks are limited, Voodoo is limitless.

Agreed. They could still make a kick ass netbook, but 'high end netbook' screams of oxymoron.Cost and power consumption need to go down, and screen resolution needs to go up.
