Intel CEO Says $99 Tablets Are Coming This Holiday Season
What a difference a few months make. Back in July, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich predicted we'd see tablets priced under $150 this holiday season. Now he's knocked $50 off that estimate. Speaking to analysts Tuesday following Intel's quarterly earnings release, Krzanich said he expects $99 tablets, $299 Haswell (Intel's latest microprocessor) laptops, and $349 two-in-one hybrid tablets and laptops. Last month Intel touted the arrival of Bay Trail , its latest member of the Atom microprocessor family designed for tablets. Two years ago, Amazon shook up the tablet world when it released its first Kindle Fire tablet for a breakthrough $199 price. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.
